South Wales - Firefighters were attacked with stones when they were called to a travellers site

Firefighters were attacked with a barrage of stones after being called to a travellers site on the outskirts of Port Talbot.
Police have released a picture of a man they want to talk to in connection with the incident.
The crew was subjected to the attack when they were called to the Caegarw caravan site between Margam and Pyle in the early hours of October 23.
One fire engine had its windscreen smashed, and officers were forced to withdraw from the area.
Police launched an investigation into the incident, and have now released an image of a man in a light-coloured top they want to identify.
Anyone with information about the attack is being urged to come forward.
A spokesman for South Wales Police said: "Police would like to identify the man in the picture as part of its investigation to an incident of disorder at Caegaraw caravan site, Margam, at 1.09am on October 23, following the attendance of the fire service.
"On arrival at the site, persons unknown threw stones at the fire service vehicle causing damage to the windscreen. No injuries have been reported.
"Police believe the male in the long sleeve top can assist with their enquiries.
"If anyone has information in regards to this incident please call police."
