A man has driven a bulldozer into a pub in the Hirwaun Area

We were called just after 8.45 pm last night, Thursday, December 04, with a report of a man having driven a bulldozer into a pub on Smiths Avenue, #Hirwaun. The driver of the bulldozer had also driven over a parked, unoccupied car.

We have reason to believe that this incident may have been targeted rather than random, and we are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding it.

A 35-year-old man from Rhigos has been arrested on suspicion of attempt GBH; dangerous driving; driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs and criminal damage. He is currently in hospital.

No other person was injured during the incident, and the investigation is ongoing.

The incident was swiftly brought under control and we would like to extend our thanks to the public for their support throughout the incident.
