A 43-year-old man has been arrested by police after a female train passenger suffered serious facial injuries in an alleged assault.
Police are appealing for witnesses on the 19:43 GMT service from Cardiff to Swansea following the Wales v New Zealand rugby international at the Millennium Stadium earlier on Saturday.
The 27-year-old woman was taken to hospital after arriving at Swansea and reported being punched several times.
Police say the man is in custody.
A spokesperson for British Transport Police (BTP) said the woman has been released from Swansea's Morriston Hospital after receiving treatment.
He added: "The train, the 19:43 GMT service from Cardiff to Swansea, would have been busy with others who may have attended the Wales v New Zealand rugby international.
"Anyone who was on the train and witnessed the alleged assault is urged to contact BTP as a matter of urgency."
