2 people have been arrested, one on suspicion of attempted murder, after an incident in Cardiff that left a man with life-threatening injuries.
A 54-year-old was found with serious head injuries in Bute Park, near the Sophia Gardens entrance, around 1.10am yesterday morning (20 July).
The man, from Butetown in Cardiff, was taken to the University Hospital of Wales, where he remains in a life-threatening condition.
An 18-year-old woman from Llanrumney has now been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent and robbery, while a 25-year-old man from Riverside has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark O’Shea said: “We understand that this incident will have caused concern for the local community, however I’d like to reassure people that whilst this is undoubtedly a serious and concerning incident, it is being treated as an isolated incident.
"We have made good progress with the enquiry and have thus far arrested two people and our investigations will continue until we find all of those responsible and bring them to justice.”
