Update on incident at Tenby - Wales

Superintendent Jon Cooze said:

"We were called to reports of a fight at Tenby station at around 9.50pm last night, involving a group of youths.

Four of the group – aged between 13 and 17 from the Pembroke area - sustained stab wounds during the violence, and were taken to hospital for assessment.  

Thankfully their injuries are not considered to be life-threatening or life-changing and they have already been discharged from hospital.

Due to the quick actions of our colleagues at Dyfed Powys Police arriving on scene, a 16-year old boy and a 19-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) and remain in police custody. 

We understand the concern an incident of this nature will have caused in the community,  and while we believe it to be an isolated incident, passengers will notice an increased presence of officers in the area who are there to provide reassurance.

We've launched a thorough investigation into the full circumstances of the incident and are keeping an open mind as to the background of what has happened. We’re aware of footage circulating online and would ask people not to share this or speculate while detectives concentrate on the investigation.

Lastly - I'd urge anyone who witnessed what happened or the events leading up to it to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 916 of 07/04/26."
