A police officer is being investigated by his own forcer after film showed him kicking a football fan after a Premier League clash.

The supporter was walking down the street after Wolverhampton Wanderers faced Arsenal when the policeman came up behind him.

Onlookers feared the officer was trying to goad the young fan who managed to stay on his feet.
