Police have issued an image of a man they wish to speak to after a coin was thrown at a Fife football match.
Raith Rovers player Ross Matthews was struck on the head by the projectile during the Kirkcaldy club’s home match against Dundee United in March.
Ross Matthews (No.12) holds his head after being struck by a coin.
The midfielder escaped with only a minor injury after being struck just above his eye.
The coin is understood to have been launched from the away end of the ground and investigators have now issued a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to as part of their inquiries.
Constable Jez Graves from the Kirkcaldy Community Investigation Unit said: “Reckless behaviour like this could have resulted in serious injury and such behaviour cannot be tolerated.
Police wish to identify this man in connection with the coin thrown during the Raith Rovers v Dundee United match.
“Anyone who recognises the man pictured in the CCTV image, or who has any other information relevant to our ongoing inquiries, is asked to get in touch immediately.”
The man in the picture has been described as white, in his early to mid-twenties, of heavy build, with dark hair styled to the side, dark stubble and was wearing all dark clothing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101, or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
