Video shows altercation

A video of the incident seen by WalesOnline shows a group of around eight people gathered on a zebra crossing as an altercation breaks out. The person recording can be heard repeatedly saying "Oh my God" as two people become involved in a physical altercation.

The situation escalates as a car approaches the group before people begin shouting. The footage shows the car turning at a junction, mounting the kerb and driving towards a group of people. One person shouts: "Who the f*** is driving?" The vehicle stops near the zebra crossing before setting off again, and the person recording warns: "They are coming back round."

The car mounts the kerb again and circles back onto the road before driving away. A scream is heard, followed by the person recording shouting: "Someone has been run over."
