A non-league game between Kingstonian and Bognor Regis Town ended in chaos last night after the home goalkeeper jumped into the crowd following the final whistle in an attempt to attack a fan.

As the referee brought the Ryman Premier League clash to a close, goalie Rob Tolfrey jumped over the advertising hoardings and dived into the stand behind his goal.

A mass brawl then developed as players and staff from both sides rushed towards the incident before the police were eventually called in.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police is reported to have said:

Police were called to a fight at Kingstonian FC around 9:45pm and we are currently investigating.

Bognor Regis Town supporters club have called on fans to assist with the investigation.

It’s unclear what the motivation behind Tolfrey’s reaction at the end of the game was, but his Kingstonian team-mate Josh Casey has claimed on Twitter that the supporter threw the first punch and the clip that has been shared does not tell the whole story:

Some are also alleging the use of racist language at the game:
