South Wales Police chief superintendent Bob Evans told PA Sport: "We've had a number of complaints – many from Swansea fans it must be said – and are therefore obliged to launch a full investigation into the matter.

"We take a very dim of this matter because there were a lot of families and young children at the game and it is noticeable that many Swansea fans have themselves come to us to make a complaint - it has not been only Cardiff fans.

"I want this matter cleared up as quickly as possible because Swansea could be playing in Cardiff again in a few weeks' time if they get to the League One play-off final."
