Police have launched an investigation after a video depicting what appears to be a confrontation at the City Ground emerged online. The clip was reportedly filmed after the Nottingham Forest win over Sheffield United.
The video seemingly depicts a crowd gathered on the pitch at the City Ground following the intense game. Sheffield United's Oli McBurnie is seen jumping while a man, allegedly a fan wearing a Nottingham Forest shirt, is laying on the ground. It is not clear if there was any contact between the two.
Inspector Andy Wright, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "We have been made aware of a video circulating on social media showing a possible altercation where a Forest fan can be seen on the ground following the play-off semi-final. We have now started an investigation into this incident.
