Police are searching for two more men following an attack on a Swansea City fan at the south Wales derby last season.
South Wales Police has released images of the pair they want to talk to in connection to the attack on 1 April 2023.
The Swansea fan was targeted after celebrating a goal and was taken to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff by ambulance. The 23-year-old was treated for cuts and bruises to his head, back and torso.
Stewards and other supporters intervened to prevent the assault and protect him.
The two other people officers are now searching for include a white, stocky male with short black hair and a suspected tattoo on his neck. He is thought to be between 30 and 35.
The other man is also white male and roughly 6 ft tall and of "medium build." Police say he has short dark brown hair and a brown beard, and is thought to be aged between about 25 and 30 years old.
