Post-mortem after death following pub 'altercation'

A post-mortem examination is due to take place today after a man died following an incident in Cardiff city centre. South Wales Police says he is in his 40s and from the Pontypridd area, but formal identification has not yet taken place.

Eight men, arrested on suspicion of murder, remain in custody.

At around 11.04pm last night an altercation took place in O’Neill’s, St. Mary Street, and several people were ejected from the pub. I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who was in St. Mary Street at the time that may have witnessed an altercation involving a number of people outside the pub.

One man was taken to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, and has sadly died. Our thoughts are with the man’s family who are being supported by family liaison officers. I would urge anyone who was in the area and witnessed what happened, either inside or outside O’Neill’s, to contact us.
