Armed police responded to a ‘serious assault' near Neath today, which left a man in hospital.
The South Wales Police helicopter was scrambled to the incident, following calls to emergency services at 11.35am.
The incident took place in Cardonnel Road. A man has been arrested.
One resident described seeing armed police in Cae Nant Terrace, approximately half a mile from where the arrest is understood to have taken place.
Anthony Harvey said: “The helicopter was around for some time, so I knew something was going on.
“I went to the chippy, and when I came back there were police disarming.
“It’s not really the sort of thing you see in Skewen on a Wednesday afternoon”.
A South Wales Police spokesman said: “One male has been taken to Morriston Hospital and a 33-year-old man has been arrested.
“Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting occurrence 2000174002”.
