Police bodycam shows petrol bomb explode at riot

This is the moment a petrol bomb explodes after being thrown at a police officer during a riot in Cardiff.

Eight people have gone on trial accused of rioting which caused "mayhem" and "carnage" in the Ely area of the city two years ago.

A female officer had a petrol bomb thrown at her, "covering her in flames" and several officers were injured, Newport Crown Court heard.

Jurors have been told the riot was sparked by the deaths of two teenagers after their e-bike crashed on 22 May 2023, with police being "blamed for the crash".

Camera footage from officers at the scene has been played at the trial showing intense scenes throughout the evening.

The trial is expected to last six weeks.
