POLICE have arrested a third man after an alleged 'stabbing' outside a Tesco superstore.

Investigating officers issued an appeal to help them find 19-year-old Daniel Drew, from Torfaen, after a 22-year-old was 'stabbed' outside Tesco in Pontypool on Saturday evening (April 6).

The alleged victim was taken to Royal Gwent Hospital with an injury to the abdomen, and Gwent Police yesterday confirmed they believe it was caused with a knife.

Two men were arrested after the incident.

One man, aged 20, was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, racially aggravated public order and Section 18 assault.

The other man, aged 48, was arrested on suspicion of Section 18 assault.

Both men have been released on bail, with conditions pending further police enquiries.

Today (April 8), Gwent Police confirmed they had found and arrested Mr Drew after their initial appeal.

Police are connecting two other incidents to the reported stabbing.

At 9.30pm on Saturday, April 6, police say they got a report of criminal damage to a car on Osbourne Road in Pontypool.

A separate, racially aggravated offence was then said to have taken place a short while later at Peri Cottage restaurant in Pontypool.

It was following this that police say the 22-year-old man was assaulted as allegedly stabbed outside Pontypool Tesco.

A Gwent Police spokesman said: "Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with any information regarding the incidents to please contact Gwent Police on 101, quoting log number: 533 06/04/19.
