Police investigate Bielik fan clash at Portsmouth

Police are investigating an incident involving Cardiff defender Krystian Bielik and a fan during Portsmouth's 2-0 Championship win at Fratton Park on Saturday. Bielik was involved in a physical altercation with a fan as he attempted to retrieve a ball from the crowd late in the second half, with claims suggesting Bielik was slapped in the face or grabbed a young fan around his upper body.

Hampshire Police confirmed an investigation into the alleged assault, with officials stating they are "aware of supporter concerns" and "investigating an incident in which a teenage boy was reportedly the victim of a common assault." Both Portsmouth and Cardiff have apologized for the incident, with Portsmouth head coach John Mousinho expressing regret and urging caution against speculation while enquiries remain ongoing.

The Football Association will review the details in the referee's match report before deciding on any further action.
