" You've got people brushing past you, squeezing through, which is Fine . . Then I got shoved so hard I nearly fell over.
" The Next thing I turn round and This Man and his partner are both looking at me, really smug.
" The Girlfriend came marching towards me, swearing at me in my face. They were drunk, so she was slurring and swearing.
" She turned around and tapped her partner on the shoulder and says 'sort her out'".
Ms Wood said the pair Then started verbally abusing her and the rest of her group and that The Man Then tried to start a fight with her partner, Owain, before The Event stewards intervened.
'Abuse of power'" My partner said to him 'you need to leave now. If you want to Hit Me Then do it, I'm not going to fight you'. They had to physically grab him and pull him away, " Ms Wood added.
" I think they were going to kick him out at this point, but Then he pulls out his police badge. "
Ms Wood described The Officer 's behaviour as " mind-blowing" and called it an " abuse of power".
" The stewards, they were only young lads, they didn't know what to do, " She Said .

Ms Wood said she has reported The Incident to South Wales Police and wants to see The Officer disciplined, describing him as " not fit to be a Police Officer ".
" He clearly thinks he's untouchable. He isn't on duty. He isn't working. He has no need to have his badge on him, " She Said .
" His behaviour, regardless of what your job is, is totally unacceptable and despicable".
A spokesperson for Depot, The Event organiser, said: " On Monday evening, members of The Public approached our security staff to report an ongoing incident and In Line with our protocols, A Man was given a verbal warning.
A short while later, staff were alerted to another disturbance in The Crowd involving the same person - and having already been given A Warning , we made the decision to eject him from the premises.
