Police investigate Cardiff player's clash with young Portsmouth fan
–
Neutral summary
Police have launched an investigation after Cardiff City defender Krystian Bielik appeared to grab a young Portsmouth supporter by the throat during Saturday's Championship match at Fratton Park. The incident occurred in the 70th minute with Cardiff trailing 2-0, when Bielik approached the front row to retrieve the ball and the young fan reportedly pushed it away. Footage showed the 28-year-old reaching towards the fan's neck and pushing him backwards, prompting a brief halt to the game. Portsmouth described the matter as a “safeguarding matter”, both clubs issued statements, and Bielik escaped without any sanction.
