Detectives are appealing for information after a dog walker suffered suspected shotgun injuries in Ebbw Vale.

Officers were called to Man Moel Road shortly after 6pm on Sunday to reports of a man with a gunshot wound.

A man had been walking in the area with his dog, when he suffered the injury to his leg.

It is believed the wound was caused by a shotgun discharge, but investigations are ongoing to establish the exact circumstances.

He was taken to the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, where he remains in a stable condition. His injuries are believed to be life-changing.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Gwent Police on 101.
