Emergency services in Gwent were tonight helping an injured man get out of what is believed to be a fork lift truck.

The South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said on Twitter that its crews were helping the ambulance service in Cwmfelinfach remove an injured person from a fork lift vehicle.

The service’s control room said the incident took place at around 7pm on Nine Mile Point Road in the Valleys village.

Two fire crews from Cefn Fforest and Malpas, Newport, were in attendance but the Malpas crew has since returned from the scene.
