Tony Jackson says the firefighters still managed to complete their duties

A fire crew was attacked by about 30 youths throwing stones at them while they were attending to a deliberately-lit rubbish fire in Torfaen.

South Wales Fire and Rescue service said one firefighter was hit on the helmet by a stone but no-one was hurt.

They were called to Beddick in Greenmeadow, Cwmbran, just before 19:00 BST on Saturday.

A spokesman said: "We will be working closely with the police to identify who was responsible."
