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.

"...machete..."


Will have to check my calendar...
I thought the earlier Rama-lama-ding-dong Stabathon festivities had concluded?
It is challenging to keep track of when they are feeling the most offended..

A machete is a slashing weapon ... so it's OK. No need to restrict it to the Stabathon.

He looks pretty pale, wonder if he is other than “Mediterranean” or “Asian”.

Damned! The music critics are really tough in England. The show hadn’t even started and this critic went into action.

Sort of like “ The View” with knives.

A machete attack at a concert full of screaming young people.

What is this, a scene from a horror movie?

They should have forced the guy to impale himself with his own machete.

Now they don't like Canadians? I thought everyone liked Canadians.

Now it is getting serious. UK should be on travel watch list. Let's stop going there.

When did a measly foot-long blade qualify as a machete? Bowie knife, maybe...

Dang, you are 100% entirely correct.
I have to remember to read the fine print at the bottom!

Why would someone want to harm Bieber fans? Haven’t they suffered enough just being Bieber fans?
