Four people have been taken to hospital following a reported stabbing in a Co-op store in a South Wales village.

Witnesses described seeing people running from the shop in Pen Y Graig, Rhondda Valley, after a woman was believed to have attacked people with a knife.

Ravi Raj, 35, manager at the local post office, said the scene had been blocked off quickly by police.

“The police arrested [the suspect]. I wasn’t inside the shop but I walked down the road when the people were running out so I just wanted to see what had happened,” he said.

A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We sent one rapid response vehicle, three emergency ambulances, two advanced paramedic practitioners and our hazardous area response team, who were supported by an air ambulance.

“Four people were taken by road to Cardiff’s University Hospital of Wales and the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.”

A woman has been arrested and is in custody.
