POLICE and paramedics were called to a party event in Newport's Tredegar Park twice in the space of ten minutes on Saturday.

Thousands of people enjoyed live music and fun in the blazing sun at Party in the Park on Friday and the Colour Clash on Saturday - both of which were held at Tredegar Park.

But the events didn't go off without a hitch, with police and paramedics called to the Colour Clash twice within the space of 10 minutes, with the first call coming in at about 10.05pm.

Police said paramedics treated a 27-year-old at the scene, before taking him to Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital. His injuries are not believed to be serious.

The second call came in just 10 minutes later at 10.15pm after a 21-year-old man was hit over the head with an iron bar.

Police said he was taken to Cardiff University Hospital of Wales with a fractured eye socket. His condition is unknown.

Police are appealing for anyone with information about either of the incidents to contact them on 101, quoting log number 738 of July 14 for the first, or 762 of July 14 for the second.

A spokesman from Climax Promotions, which organised both events, said: "We had a small number of disturbances which we are working with the authorities and police during their investigation to establish the facts.

"Under no circumstances do we tolerate violence at Colour Clash or Party at the Park."

And some punters were disappointed after rapper Wiley failed to turn up at the Colour Clash - with ex-N-Dubz singer Dappy stepping up to fill his slot at the last minute.

The Climax spokesman said: “Unfortunately due to reasons out of our control, Wiley was not able to perform at Colour Clash 2018.

"We informed festival-goers as soon as we received this news ourselves at 9.15pm and also sent out Dappy for an extra set.”

A statement from the rapper's management said: “Wiley had an issue with his newborn son and could not fly, we were only told at the last minute and we are truly sorry to the promoter as well as his fans."

Meanwhile, some punters at Party in the Park were sold drinks labelled 'trade sample not for resale'.

Steven Nott, of Cwmbran, was annoyed when he discovered 16 of the 20 bottles of Stowford Press mixed berries cider he and his group had bought for £5 each had the marking.

"He said: "No alcohol or food was allowed to be brought onto site. We appreciate things are always going to be more expensive at these types of events but feel 'kinda' ripped off because they were making money hand over fist throughout their time there anyway."

But, in an email seen by the Argus, the event's suppliers said the bottles marked as trade samples were accidentally placed in with the regular order. The email also confirmed the bottles were safe to drink and Climax had paid regular price for them.

But Mr Nott added: "Sounds to me like they've been caught out. The bottles weren't for resale and they were sold."

Newport City Council confirmed its Trading Standards division is looking into the issue.
