A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder following Swindon Town’s derby clash with Reading in October.
The 19-year-old man from Newbury was arrested by Thames Valley Police during the game between Reading and Bristol Rovers on Tuesday, November 7.
This arrest comes a month after Town travelled to the Select Car Leasing Stadium on October 10, losing 5-0 in the EFL Trophy.
The teenager was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder in relation to an alleged incident during October’s fixture.
He has since been released on police bail.
Four other arrests for various offences were also made at Reading’s home match with Bristol Rovers.
A 26-year-old man from Bristol was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order after racist abuse was allegedly shouted at players during the game.
After flares were reportedly lit and thrown into the crowd, a 15-year-old boy and a 30-year-old man, both from Bristol, were arrested.
A 31-year-old man, from Bristol, was also arrested on suspicion of possession of a flare after an offender was allegedly found with one while leaving the ground.
All three men have also been released on police bail, while the boy received a community resolution.
