Supporters posted videos of them being surrounded by NSW Police after leaving CommBank Stadium.

A Wanderers fan uploaded images of cuts to his face, which he claimed were the result of police activity.

Sources say RBB were returning a club-sanctioned banner that had been displayed before the match and attempting to return to their assigned seats when a large group was told they could not return.

Macarthur fans also clashed with security guards, who forced them to remove a banner during Friday’s 2-0 home win over Melbourne City.

APL Commissioner Nick Garcia was not available for comment.

The league body issued a two-paragraph response confirming they were investigating the incidents.

“Creating a safe and enjoyable environment both inside and outside our facilities for all fans, stakeholders and staff is our number one priority,” the APL said in an unnamed statement.

“We are aware of incidents that have occurred at CommBank and Suncorp stadiums, and we are investigating these incidents as part of a full review with clubs, venues and police, along with feedback from fans.”
