The defibrillator at Sudbrook Cricket Club was "mindlessly vandalised", a day before one saved Christian Eriksen on the football pitch.

Sudbrook Cricket Club in Caldicot, Monmouthshire, has CCTV footage of a man "ripping and kicking" at the emergency kit in the early hours of Friday morning.

It comes as a charity called for more defibrillators in public following the footballer's cardiac arrest.

Gwent Police has appealed for help finding the culprit.

Club chairman Charlie Heaven said the defibrillator could be "the difference between life and death".

The defib device is used to treat someone in cardiac arrest, and one was used to stablise Denmark's Eriksen when he collapsed in the first game of their Euro 2020 competition.

Any excess funds will be donated to the British Heart Foundation.
