Two men have been charged in connection to an assault in Ammanford, which was filmed and shared widely on social media.
Hefin Parker, of Heol y Parc, Llanelli, and Elis Kelman, of Water Street, Carmarthen, appeared in Llanelli Magistrates' Court today.
Parker, 21, was charged with assaulting Benjamin Rylee in Ammanford on Tuesday, July 2, causing actual bodily harm.
Kelman, 19, was charged with recording an assault on a vulnerable person who was punched unconcious, which accounted to assisting or encouraging the assault.

Kelman has been granted bail until the trial, while his co-defendant Parker has been remanded in custody.
