A video has appeared online showing the moment a Leeds United fan is struck by a police officer after the game against Millwall on Saturday.
The footage shows unrest between fans and police following the 2-1 defeat for the Whites, with Metropolitan police officers holding back a group of fans.
In the first seconds of the clip, an officer appears to strike one of the fans, before repeated calls for fans to 'get back'.
A Leeds supporter posted the video on Twitter with the caption 'Call this sensible crowd control @LUFC ???'.
The Met Police issued a statement, as reported in the Mirror, saying the footage was a 'limited capture of an incident' and they are 'working to establish the full circumstances'.
The statement read in full: "Police are aware of a video circulating following the Millwall vs Leeds Utd match at The New Den on Saturday, 5 October showing an altercation between a police officer and a supporter which took place after the match had concluded.
