Dyfed‑Powys Police announced the development this afternoon, four days after launching a large‑scale manhunt across the town and surrounding woodland. Officers had been searching for McKenna since Thursday, when a woman was stabbed just inside the park before fleeing to raise the alarm.

The force said the arrest follows extensive enquiries and a public appeal issued over the weekend.

Detective Chief Superintendent Ross Evans said:

“We would like to thank the media and our communities for assisting our investigation so far.”

Police confirmed that comments on their public update have been disabled as court proceedings are now active under the Contempt of Court Act.

The victim, who suffered stab wounds during the attack, is expected to make a full recovery.

No further details have been released at this stage.
