Blackpool are conducting an investigation after a video of a steward appearing to punch a fan was posted on social media.
The incident occurred at Blackpool's Leasing.com Trophy game against Scunthorpe at Bloomfield Road on Wednesday night.
The short clip shows a hooded man attempting to barge through stewards dressed in yellow vests and orange jackets. As he is pushed back, one steward appears to punch him in the side of the head.
