Mayhill riot: 'I'm packing up, I'm not willing to live in fear'

A woman who lives on a street in Swansea which saw rioters throw bricks at houses, torch cars and roll them down the street, has said she is leaving her home.

Seven police officers were injured and families spoke of being trapped in houses as a mob caused havoc in Waun-Wen Road, in the Mayhill area of the city on Thursday evening.

"Our lives were in danger last night - anybody's houses could have gone up," said Chelsea.

"That's a scary thought. I'm packing my house as we speak. Enough is enough now. We can't live in fear, I'm not living in fear."
