British Transport Police lead investigation after serious disorder involving group of youths

FOUR youths suffered stab wounds during a major incident at Tenby railway station on Tuesday night (Apr 7), police have confirmed.

Emergency services were called to reports of serious disorder involving a group of youths at around 9:50pm. The Herald was at the scene as a major response unfolded, with at least four ambulances and around 15 police cars and vans sent to the area.

Video circulating on social media appeared to show a number of children involved in a fracas on the railway platform. In footage seen by The Herald, at least one youth could be heard saying he had been stabbed.

In a statement issued shortly after midnight, a Dyfed-Powys Police spokesperson said: “Dyfed-Powys Police were called to reports of serious disorder involving a group of youths at Tenby train station at approx. 9.50pm this evening (Tuesday, April 7). During the incident, an individual was in possession of a knife, which resulted in four youths sustaining stab wounds.”

Officers attended the scene promptly and a 16-year-old youth and a 19-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of Section 18 assault. Both remain in police custody.

Dyfed-Powys Police said British Transport Police have primacy for the incident and are leading enquiries.

Castlemorris man denies affray and criminal damage charges

A PEMBROKESHIRE man has appeared before magistrates accused of threatening enforcement officers with a knife during an incident at his home near Mathry.

Simon Coll, 59, is charged with affray and two counts of criminal damage following the incident at Pant y Blodau, Castlemorris, in the early hours of February 26.

Prosecutor Sian Vaughan told Haverfordwest magistrates this week that three Excel enforcement officers had attended the property to secure vehicles.

“The officers had a conversation about securing some of the vehicles at the property, and then knocked on the door wearing body worn cameras,” she said.

“The defendant opened the door and immediately became aggressive towards them, brandishing a knife, and asking, ‘Do you want some?’”

Body worn camera footage was shown to the magistrates, in which the enforcement officers could be seen running away while shouting at Coll to put down the knife.

Coll is further accused of causing £387 worth of damage to a windscreen and wheel clamp belonging to Excel Enforcement.

He denies all three charges.

Although magistrates agreed to retain jurisdiction, Coll elected for trial by jury.

The case has now been sent to Swansea Crown Court, where proceedings are due to begin on Friday (May 8). Coll was released on unconditional bail.
