Reports have suggested that the fan had thrown a bottle at the officer, however video seems to show that the supporter threw a plastic cup full of beer in the cop's direction.

The clip shows the fan make his way around a large group of people with a beer in his hand before launching it at the officer.

The rowdy supporter then appears to move towards the police as if to confront them.

But is quickly made to regret his decision when one grabs hold of him and punches him in the face.
