A MAN living in the flats above the shops in Market Street became disorientated last Wednesday after spending the day drinking.

In an agitated state the man, who was naked at the time, decided to leave his flat and was seen walking around Abergavenny before deciding to go back home.

But in his confused state the man re-entered the building through the wrong communal door and ended up causing a disturbance in the complex when he couldn't get into his own flat.

A policewoman intervened into the incident, but the man resisted any attempts at restraining him and the pair of them ended up falling down the stairs.

The officer fractured her wrist in the fall and a member of the public helped restrain the man until additional police help arrived. The police used pava spray to calm the man down before he could be arrested. The man was later sectioned by the authorities.
