PART of a Newport pub's carpark has been cordoned off by police this morning.

The car park of the Friendly Fox, in Caerphilly Road, in the Bassaleg area of Newport, has been cordoned off by police.

South Wales Argus:

Paul Gregory, a resident in Caerphilly Close, said he heard some shouting at around midnight and that it went on for quite some time.

He said: "A man and a woman could be heard arguing. It didn't sound like it was violent.

"I got up and looked out the window, but I couldn't see anything."

Another resident in the close, who did not wish to be named, said: "I saw that the road was closed and assumed it was part of a crime scene.

"We heard nothing over the night."

Another Caerphilly Close resident added she heard "a lot of fuss" from around 10pm.

She said: "There was a lot of shouting at around midnight.

"We looked outside and we couldn't see anything. It was a fight, most probably."
