The force said officers were called just after 4pm on Thursday following a report that a woman had been assaulted in Carmarthen Park. According to police, she was taken to hospital with injuries to her torso and hand and is currently in a stable condition.
Dyfed‑Powys Police said Picton Terrace was closed to traffic and an area inside the park was cordoned off while officers examined the scene. The force added that a number of scenes remained in place late into the night as enquiries continued.
Police: victim and suspect known to each other
Detective Superintendent Anthony Evans, Dyfed‑Powys Police, said officers had identified a male suspect who is known to the victim and that enquiries were ongoing to locate and arrest him.
“I am aware that this is an incident which is understandably causing concern in the area,” he said. “I wish to assure the local community that our officers are following all possible lines of enquiry to locate and arrest the suspect as quickly as possible.
“You will continue to see police in the areas around Picton Terrace, Carmarthen Park and other addresses as we investigate this appalling incident.
“Our enquiries so far have led us to understand that this was not a random attack, and that the suspect and victim were known to each other. We are now actively looking for a named individual, and should we need the public’s assistance in locating him we will issue further information.
“If you were in Carmarthen Park at around 4pm today and saw any behaviour that you would consider to be suspicious, or anyone leaving the area at speed, please do not hesitate to contact us.”
Dyfed‑Powys Police said the attempted murder investigation remains ongoing.
