Seven people from Newport have been arrested in connection with a report of “violent” disorder in the city on Friday afternoon, police have confirmed.

Gwent Police officers were called to Commercial Road after a group of men were seen fighting at about 15:20 BST.

Six men aged 25, 28, 33, 40, 42 and 52 and one 17-year-old boy who are all from Newport remain in custody.

Two of the men were discharged from hospital after receiving treatment, while two others remain there.

Gwent Police Ch Supt John Davies said: “We will not tolerate anyone who acts in such a violent way on our streets or exposes members of our communities to such a horrific level of aggression when they go about their daily business.

“Violence in any form is completely unacceptable and we have acted decisively in making these arrests; anyone else who is found to be involved in this violent disorder will also be dealt with.”
