There has been yet another fight filmed in Neath town centre.
The latest footage, shot in the heart of Neath's shopping district, is just one more example of the anti-social behaviour traders and visitors have claimed is a daily occurrence.
It shows two men stripped to their waists throwing punches at each other.

The fight appears to begin with a third man pulling one away, and after the two men exchange blows a woman intervenes, swinging a fist of her own at one of the men. She then becomes a target.
The man turns on her, pushing both his hands into her face, before shoving her onto the side of a car and then knocking her to the floor.
Some shoppers stop to observe the violence, but perhaps in a sign of how common a sight such behaviour is now, others stroll on by going about their business.
Lynette Veysey, who filmed the footage at around midday on Tuesday, July 27, said: "I'm frightened to let my granddaughter to town on her own because it feels so unsafe. More policing would be a massive help to the community."
Depressingly common scenes such as this latest one are among the reasons South Wales Police launched Operation Lileum in March.
The operation is aimed at cracking down on anti-social behaviour, following complaints that drinking, drug taking, and fighting are part of everyday life in the town centre.
