Police investigate coin throwing

Police have issued an image of a man they want to trace after a football player was hit by a coin during a match.

The incident happened during the Raith Rovers v Dundee United game at Stark’s Park in Kirkcaldy, Fife on 18 March.

Rovers player Ross Matthews was hit by the coin, which was thrown from the away end of the ground, but was not injured. Police launched an investigation and have now issued a CCTV image of a man they want to trace.

He is white and in his early to mid 20s, with a heavy build, dark hair and stubble. He was wearing dark clothing.

Constable Jez Graves said: “Reckless behaviour like this could have resulted in serious injury and such behaviour cannot be tolerated.” 0 Police image of alleged coin thrower who hit Raith player
