Mountain Ash man dies after being hit with bottle in Prague
A man has died after he was hit in the head with a vodka bottle in Prague.
Dai Richards, understood to be from Mountain Ash, was on a night out in the Czech Republic city on Saturday.
Police said Mr Richards was hit on the head and was then taken to hospital where he died that evening.
Police in Prague said they had arrested a 26-year-old- man in connection with the death.
Police said a rift broke out between two groups of tourists in the Národní třída area of the city, who at first spoke calmly but then: “There was a rift between them and one of them hit the other on the head with a bottle of vodka.”
However, Mr Richards’ family called it a blind attack.
Paying tribute, AFC Abercynon said the world had lost a good man, a father, a son and a brother.
In statement online, it said it was a “loss for all of us, but the grief and sorrow that you as a family must feel are the deepest and most poignant and personal”.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to support the family.
The Foreign Office have said they were supporting Mr Richards’ family.
