WATCH: Kingstonian goalkeeper in scuffle with Bognor Regis fans

Kingstonian have launched an investigation into a scuffle between goalkeeper Rob Tolfrey and Bognor Regis fans.

Tolfrey climbed over advertising hoardings to confront a supporter and others became involved. He told Sky Sports News HQ he was verbally abused, spat on and then punched by someone during the Isthmian Premier League side's defeat at home to Bognor Regis.

Tolfrey says he was acting in self-defence when he confronted the Bognor supporter but that he did not throw any punches. It sparked a mass brawl involving players and coaches from both teams and stewards also got involved before Tolfrey was led away by his team-mates. 

Kingstonian said in a statement on Tuesday: "Following the events from last night's Ryman League Premier Division match, Kingstonian Football Club is conducting a thorough investigation, whilst working closely alongside Bognor Regis Town FC, with whom we have an excellent relationship."

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said the incident was being investigated, saying in a statement: "Police were called at 21:43 on Monday 23 February to Kingsmeadow Stadium, Jack Goodchild Way after reports of a fight between players and supporters. Officers made no arrest and there were no injuries and enquiries continue."
