West Midlands and Essex police forces are investigating an alleged assault by a steward at Solihull Moors’ match at home against Southend on Saturday. Video footage, which has been shared widely on social media, appears to show an incident of a supporter being restrained by stewards and security personnel.
Police have confirmed they are carrying out enquiries and reviewing footage. “A supporter from the away end encroached on to the pitch towards the end of the game and pushed a home player,” a spokesperson for West Midlands police said.
