Three men have been arrested after reports that a car had been driven dangerously before colliding with pedestrians and a public shelter in a Welsh seafront promenade.

The incident happened at 4.50am on Saturday in the Marine Terrace area of Aberystwyth, which is popular with revellers for its bars and clubs.

Dyfed-Powys police said officers received reports of a disturbance and that a dark green car was driving erratically and dangerously in the area. The force added the reports suggested the vehicle had possibly collided with some pedestrians and the pillar of a shelter on the promenade.

A force spokeswoman said: “Officers attended the scene swiftly and ambulances were called. They treated one man for non-life threatening injuries, and another man refused medical treatment.”

Three men remained in police custody after they were arrested on suspicion of affray and driving offences, she added.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident to get in touch.
