Man charged after coins thrown at Dunfermline match

A man has been arrested and charged after coins were allegedly thrown at a Dunfermline FC player during a match.

The incident is said to have happened at Fallkirk Stadium when Falkirk played Dunfermline on October 6.

The coins missed the player and no-one was injured.

Police inquiries have been ongoing and a 25-year-old man has now been charged.

He is expected to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court at a later date.

Detective Sergeant Kenny Halliday, Forth Valley’s dedicated football officer, said: “Throwing items on a pitch or at people is a reckless and disruptive act.

“We remain committed to pursuing those who attempt to cause others harm and ruin the game for the majority of responsible fans.”
