A man has been arrested after a 'disturbance' on a Cardiff street prompted a huge armed police response. The incident, which allegedly involved a group of men in possession of several offensive weapons, left one man with minor injuries after being shot with a pellet gun.
Officers from South Wales Police were called to Cornwall Street in Grangetown shortly after 9.30pm on Thursday, April 22, following reports of a disturbance on the street. Upon further investigation, a 25-year-old man was arrested at an address on Lower Cathedral Road in Riverside on suspicion of aggravated burglary.
Armed police were deployed to the address "as a precaution to ensure the safety of the public and other police officers". Eyewitnesses reported seeing around 15 armed officers on the street in Riverside at around 11pm.
