Families were attacked by men in balaclavas as they tried to leave a football match at the weekend, it's claimed.
Police launched a probe following the incident as crowds left after Motherwell's 'Women of Steel' took on Hamilton Accies at Fir Park on Saturday afternoon.
Chief executive Alan Burrows confirmed on social media the club is working with Police Scotland to bring anyone responsible for crowd trouble to justice, Lanarkshire Live reports.
It is understood the match passed off without incident, with Motherwell losing 1-0 to Accies in the SWPL 1.
However, it is believed a masked group attacked the crowd, that included children, as they began to leave.
Mr Burrows posted: "It was an almost 700 strong crowd made up with lots of women, children and families.
"It's hard to believe what happened, but we'll now work with the police to try and identify culprits. I can't say too much as this is now a police matter.
"Suffice to say, we had more than adequate stewarding for the crowd and the game itself passed off in a fantastic spirit both on and off the park.
"What happened afterwards, which we have caught on CCTV, was absolutely disgraceful, but clearly extremely difficult for us to predict.
"We are working with all the appropriate authorities, with the evidence we have, to try and identify the culprits and bring them to justice."
Mr Burrows was responding to a tweet from a fan, who said: "I was caught up in the middle of it. This couldn't be predicted and the stewards reacted quickly when they saw what was going on.
"It's the most disgusting scenes I've seen in decades at a match. Around 20 men with balaclavas hiding their faces came at us.
"It was my first women's match in over 50 years following the club and this happens."
