SOUTH Wales Police is continuing to investigate a stabbing which took place at Barry Island on Bank Holiday Monday (25th May) in the light of a shock development.
A 17-year-old boy from Cardiff suffered a serious leg injury which was initially not believed to be life threatening or life changing.

Detective Inspector Sarah Lee, from South Wales Police (SWP), said: “The extent and seriousness of the injury sustained by the teenage victim is absolutely devastating.
“Understandably his family are distraught, and they have been assigned a specially-trained family liaison officer for additional support.
“Our investigation, which includes examining hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and tracing witnesses, is continuing.
“An 18-year-old man from Riverside, Cardiff, who was arrested on the day of the incident on suspicion of wounding with intent, remains on bail pending further enquiries.
