The Thames Valley Police have confirmed that they will be talking to West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt after he was hit by a coin following the 3-1 FA Cup fifth round defeat against Reading.

The 31-year-old was hit with a coin from the section of the away supporters at Madejski Stadium when he went to applaud the fans after the final whistle.

Sergeant Richard Noone of Thames Valley Police's Tactical and Football Operations said: "We are investigating a number of incidents during the FA Cup match between Reading and West Bromwich Albion at the Madejski Stadium.

"There were a number of incidents of disorder during the second half, including objects being thrown between those sitting in the home section and those sitting in the away section. A bottle was also thrown in the direction of a Reading player.

"Also, during the second half, a 37-year-old man from Sandwell, West Midlands, was arrested for a racially aggravated public order offence.

"The arrest was in connection with an incident during which a steward was verbally abused. The man who was arrested has been released on police bail until 1 April.

"Further, after the game, a West Bromwich Albion player was struck by an object thrown from the crowd.

"The player was treated for a cut to his face by medical staff at the stadium. We will be speaking to the player in due course to discuss the matter.

"We would ask anyone with any information about these incidents to contact Thames Valley Police immediately.

"I would particularly appeal to anyone who has videos of these incidents to contact police, as such footage might aid our investigations."
