After running up to the youngster, he is seen trying to swing some punches, however misses, though his hand does make contact with some part of the supporter.

It’s not understood when the fight took place, with the player currently out injured for the rest of the season.
In a statement released on Monday morning, the club said: “Officials at Sheffield United are aware of the video circulating on social media and are currently investigating.”
The Scotland international is deemed a major doubt for the upcoming European Championship this summer.
Oli McBurnie will miss the remainder of the season for Soon to be Championship club Sheffield United with a foot fracture.
The 24-year-old suffered a foot fracture during the Blades’ 3-0 home defeat to Arsenal.
The news came a day after captain Billy Sharp revealed on Instagram he would also not play again this season, after undergoing surgery on a thigh problem sustained in training.
Blades interim boss Paul Heckingbottom said: “Oli is out for the season as well.
“He’s got a stress fracture in his fifth metatarsal so we’ve lost two forwards, which isn’t positive.”
The injury means McBurnie is unlikely for Euro 2020, with Steve Clarke having to submit his squad by the 1st of June. Scotland begin their Group D challenge against the Czech Republic at Hampden on June the 14th.
Absolutely gutted but time to work hard and get back fit ASAP! Thanks for all the messages ❤️ https://t.co/JsyDjCWlDV
