According to builder Mr. Belgrove, the casualties were Chinese and had worked at the takeaway in Baglan Street. It was sealed off by police for the past three years.
He said: “The restaurant owners haven’t been there very long – they did a swap with another Chinese restaurant nearby called Yummy Yummy.”
“It’s shocking, it’s such a quiet village. I counted 31 emergency vehicles here and two air ambulances.”
The Welsh Ambulance Trust confirmed they sent one rapid response vehicle, three emergency ambulances, and the air ambulance to the scene. But they couldn’t confirm how many casualties were taken to hospital.
A white forensic tent has been placed at the scene this afternoon which is cordoned off by police.
