Some people can be heard screaming and a witness said people look frightened
A crowd of people run through Cardiff city centre - with one saying ‘He’s got a gun’.
The video shows the large crowd running over the bridge on Wood Street, near the Millennium Stadium.
Some appearing to be screaming and you can also hear one man say “He’s got a gun.”
Police arrived at the scene in riot vans after they were called to reports of a “large disturbance” .
Witness Tom Elliott, 30, from Riverside, said: “I was crossing the bridge on my way to the station when it happened. It was immediately after the Wales match against Northern Ireland.
“There was something kicking off with a group of boys on the riverside and people were running towards something in that area.
“Then I could hear people screaming ‘he’s got a gun’ and everyone ran towards the city centre.
“People looked frightened, they were screaming and it was all very surreal.
“I felt very worried and I didn’t know what was going on but I just ran in the same direction as everyone else.
“I saw some people hiding behind a car near the station watching what was going on.”
Two men, aged 16 and 22, have been arrested in relation to the incident and are being held in police custody, South Wales Police said.
It happened at the same time as thousands of fans were leaving the Cardiff fanzone.
Inspector Andy Walbeoff, of South Wales Police, said officers were called to Wood Street at 7.20pm.
He said initial reports suggested that those involved had not been in the fanzone but had been seen in the city centre earlier in the afternoon.
“The information from witnesses was that they may be in possession of weapons, but no weapons have been recovered,” see-http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/frightening-moment-large-crowd-runs-11526850
