Stay away from Cardiff city centre warning as bus attacked and reports of damage - live updates

There are reports "chaos" in Cardiff city centre on Saturday with a bus being attacked and damage being caused. One eyewitness said to "stay away from town" because it is "full of riots".

Police said they are "aware of some incidents of disorder" that have taken place in Cardiff city centre ahead of today's Championship match between Cardiff City and Bristol City at Cardiff City Stadium.

Video shows a large mob of fans clashing with police on foot and on horseback. The clip shows them swarming around the city centre at the junction of St Mary Street and Wood Street by the Prince of Wales pub. Missiles are also thrown at the pub and smash as police try to regain control.

A separate clip appears to show police trying to keep the large group of football supporters separate from what appear to be Cardiff fans outside the Prince of Wales pub.

One witness said: "Football fans are hitting our bus as they go past, a masked one just booted the door of the bus that we are on. He's cracked the glass. Bus driver has some sort of radio telling all buses to avoid town centre."

Cardiff City are hosting cross-border rivals Bristol City in the 104th Severnside Derby today kicked off at 12.30pm. Follow live updates here.

A police spokesman said: "A policing operation is in place to ensure both sets of supporters can leave the stadium safely following the match."
