'Coin throwing' at Leicester fans during otherwise trouble-free Forest game being investigated

Police are investigating reports of coins being thrown at away fans during Forest's clash with Leicester in an otherwise trouble-free game. Officers had warned fans that police would be working closely with Nottingham Forest to deal with any issues following violent disorder at last year's FA Cup tie between the two sides.

Problems included severe damage to the Fat Cat bar on Chapel Bar in Nottingham, with eight men from Leicestershire awaiting sentence for that incident. Following a Premier League fixture on Saturday, January 14, Nottinghamshire Police says there were no "major incidents."

But LeicestershireLive reports that Nottinghamshire Police will be investigating reports of coins being thrown at away fans during the game, which Forest won 2-0. A Leicestershire Police football account also tweeted that an away fan was arrested for throwing a bottle over the segregation.
