Full Title: BREAKING NEWS: Moment police bundle 'machete-wielding man' to the ground as two are arrested near Cardiff stadium where Justin Bieber will play in just three hours time

This is the moment police bundled a 'machete-wielding man' to the ground as two were arrested outside Cardiff stadium where Justin Bieber is due to play in three hours time.

A machete-wielding man was arrested as tens of thousands of young fans gathered for a Justin Bieber concert nearby.

A foot-long blade was discovered as police tackled the man as fans gathered in the packed streets.

Two men were arrested as footage emerged of police wrestling one of the men to the floor just 500 yards from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

More than 40,000 young fans are expected to attend the Welsh-leg of the Desposito singer's Purpose world tour.

One witness said: 'I walked past as there was lots of screaming and shouting as the police were there.

'I saw a guy get arrested and the police officer hold the knife - it was massive.

'It's terrifying to think something like this could happen with so many people in town.

That knife is a lot more than just a foot long.

From the pictures, it looks like a 2 foot machete.

The guy was probably looking to get a slashed ticket for the concert.

Since the Brits can't have guns might as well go medieval. Start wearing chain mail vests underneath clothing. Its light enough and not overly heavy even though it seems to be used by SCA and Medieval larpers.

Make sure its RIVETED STAINLESS STEEL not that cheap butted stuff. It's not a total solution but better than nothing and does stop most knife thrusts and virtually all slashes. It raises the survivability quotient.

No good against trucks,bombs or guns of course.

There are videos out there showing the effectiveness of riveted chain mail against knives

Well, if his plan was to go after Bieber, maybe that wasn’t such a bad idea. /s

Um, if no one was in town how could it have happened?

If a muslim stabs someone and there is no one there
does he need to shout “Allah Snackbar!”?

Just an Islamic scalper?

‘***It’s terrifying to think something like this could happen with so many people in town.***

Didn’t the muzzleman mayor of London say something to the effect that this was the new Normal?

GET USED TO IT UK! You invited the vampires in, now you complain when they demand a blood feast!
