Two were arrested following the disturbance

Swansea City fans returning from their team's game in Shrewsbury are alleged to have caused damage to the train as they changed services at Cardiff Central Station at 2000 BST on Saturday.

Around 250 Swansea supporters arrived at Cardiff, where dog handlers and officers from South Wales Police were called in to help British Transport Police control the fans.

The group of supporters was put on a First Great Western train bound for Swansea, which British Transport Police said some fans vandalised.

The damage included smashed windows and broken light fittings, ceiling tiles and other internal fittings.

Repairs

British Transport Police added that the damage to the train is valued at thousands of pounds.

The train has had to be taken out of service to be repaired.

Other passengers at Cardiff Central were transferred on to alternative services.

No members of the public were injured in the incident, but one British Transport Police officer was slightly hurt.

Transport police officers added that further arrests are likely and are appealing for further information on the disturbance from the public.
