What is 'violent disorder'?
Violent disorder is a specific public order offence in UK law. It occurs when three or more people use or threaten unlawful violence, causing someone to fear for their safety. The recent clashes near Pontypool, involving multiple individuals and resulting in injuries, could potentially fall under this legal definition, leading to arrests and charges.
