George, a 23-year-old waiter who lives and works in Cardiff, witnessed the alleged attack attempt close by both the Principality Stadium and Cardiff Central train station.
George told UNILAD:
I was walking and I saw a security guy pull the person from the car. He was holding a machete inside the car. The security guys saw him and stopped him. They pulled him out of the car and started hitting him.
George, who was ‘terrified’ by the scenes, praised the police response claiming that they were on the scene in ‘about 20 seconds’.
