Two men remain in custody following a suspected murder after a man was allegedly stabbed to death in a Cardiff street.
Two parts of Ely were cordoned off on Thursday morning after police were alerted at about 11.30am.
A South Wales Police spokesman confirmed a man who was found injured in Glyndwr Road, close to the junction with Archer Road, died at the scene despite the efforts of medical personnel.
Two men, aged 37 and 58, were held by officers and are in custody at Cardiff Bay police station.
Police sealed off part of Glyndwr Road and flats on Mill Road, confirming both scenes were part of the same investigation into the man’s death .
A force spokesman said: “The man was treated in Glyndwr Road by paramedics and doctors from the Welsh Ambulance Service and the Welsh Air Ambulance following a report of a stabbing at 11.31am.
“Despite the efforts of medical personnel he died at the scene."
Several scenes were sealed off for forensic examination by crime scene investigators in the aftermath of the alleged attack.
Superintendent Andy Valentine, head of operational policing in Cardiff, said: “I would like to reassure the public that detectives will be working into the evening to establish the circumstances leading to the incident.
“Specifically trained officers will be supporting family members at this difficult time and extra patrols continue to reassure the public.”
Some neighbours were unable to return to their homes while police investigations continued and others spoke of their distress at what had happened.
Pete Sullivan, who runs the Ely Garden Villagers group, said: “This has come as a real shock, it’s horrible. It’s just such a shame that this has happened.
“This is why we have fought so hard to keep kids off the street and into football or play centres.”
He added: “I think the whole community is going to be totally devastated. Because of the unfortunate way Ely is perceived anyway, what we will have again is ‘typical Ely’.
“So much has gone on up here to change the way Ely is perceived and this is just a bit of a kick in the teeth.”
