Four men have been jailed following their involvement in a violent disturbance in Swansea city centre, which left three people in hospital with stab wounds.
The incident happened at St. Helen's Road, Sandfields, Swansea at around 10:15pm on Wednesday 24th September.
Among those charged are 20-year-old Mohabat Adreemzai from Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, and three Swansea residents: 19-year-old Yasir Aryan from Brynmill, 24-year-old Mahfuz Uddin from Waun Wen, and 26-year-old Mohammed Uddin from Townhill.
Adreemzai and Mahfuz Uddin, who denied charges of violent disorder and possession of a knife blade in a public place, were found guilty.
Aryan was found guilty of violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon, while Mohammed Uddin was convicted of violent disorder.
The sentences are as follows: Mahfuz Uddin received 39 months in prison, Mohabat Adreemzai was sentenced to 36 months, Mohammed Uddin received a 24-month sentence, and Yasir Aryan was sentenced to 21 months.
Detective Constable Corrie Lawford addressed the serious nature of the incident and emphasised the dangers associated with knife crime.
"These were extremely violent scenes involving a large group of young men which hold no place on the streets of Swansea," Detective Constable Lawford said.
"Knives ruin lives, and in this case, they have resulted in four men going to prison. We have just marked Knife Crime Awareness Week, so this sentencing comes at a fitting time. It shows that we will catch anyone involved in knife crime in our communities, and we will bring them to justice."
