A policing operation took place on Saturday, inside and outside Stourport Swifts FC’s stadium during their FA Vase fixture against Worcester City FC.

During the match, a disorder broke out amongst a group of fans inside the stadium, which led to the game having to be paused.

Nobody was arrested after the disorder and no-one was injured.

Officers have now started an investigation into the incident, to understand what happened.

Inspector Lisa Hornberger, said: “We deal robustly with anyone that looks to commit offences at football matches, and an investigation into the incident is now taking place.

“We worked closely with Stourport Swifts FC to ensure that the vast majority of home, and away fans, had a safe and enjoyable experience, but unfortunately a minority spoilt that for the majority of fans who attended.”
