Llandudno ...Moment police grapple with football fans during major 'disorder'

 

New entertainment for the Fading Queen of Welsh Resorts? 

But seriously how can people fight over a silly game? 

They don't need arresting they need psychiatric treatment.

Five people have been arrested after "serious disorder" broke out in Llandudno on Saturday. North Wales Police said the incident unfolded after the Welsh Cup semi-final match between Bangor City 1876 and Flint Town United, which was held in the town.

Following Flint's 5–1 victory at Maesdu Park, disorder broke out in the town centre, police said.

A spokesperson said: "Following the Welsh Cup semi-final between Flint Town United and CPD Bangor 1876 yesterday (Saturday 7th March), officers were called at 3.59pm to an incident of serious disorder involving a large number of people outside the Nevill public house on Vaughan Street, Llandudno.

"Five individuals were subsequently arrested on suspicion of public order offences, S.47 ABH and assaulting an emergency worker.

"This remains a live investigation including the reviewing of video footage and CCTV."

Video footage of the incident has been shared widely on social media. The footage shows multiple police officers at the scene as suspects are detained. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox

Police said: "We are aware of considerable interest on social media, including widespread sharing of recorded footage by people present, and we would ask anyone who recorded the disorder to send the video to us to assist in our ongoing investigations.

"Please be aware that posting on social media once proceedings are active (when someone is arrested or charged) can seriously impede or prejudice any potential future legal proceedings.

"This applies to everyone, and you could be found in contempt of court."
