Gwynedd North District Inspector Jamie Owens said:

“We are incredibly grateful to all those who have contacted us over the last 36 hours. We are aware of video footage of this incident circulating on social media, and I am urging the public to avoid sharing this footage online as legal proceedings are now active.
“I would like to pass on my thanks to all attending officers, emergency service colleagues, and members of the public for their assistance at the scene, and to the investigation team at Western CID for securing these charges.”
