Micah Richards and Roy Keane were involved in an angry altercation with a member of the public at Sunday's Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester United.
Richards and Keane were both working as pundits on Sky Sports' coverage of the match, which ended in a 3-1 win for Arsenal.

A Sky Sports spokesperson said: "We understand the police are investigating an alleged assault by a member of the public immediately preceding the footage circulating on social media.
"In the footage seen, Micah Richards was acting to diffuse a situation."
Keane and Richards were working as part of Sky Sports' coverage of the Premier League match alongside Gary Neville, the recently retired Theo Walcott and regular presenter David Jones.
The match at the Emirates was full of action, with Rashford putting United ahead against the run of play midway through the first half before Arsenal immediately equalised through Odegaard.
United thought they had scored a winner late on when Rasmus Hojlund, on debut, set up Alejandro Garncho to find the net.

But his goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review, despite one angle appearing to show the Argentine in an onside position.
Arsenal then took the lead in added time, Declan Rice putting them ahead from a corner before Gabriel Jesus sealed the win with a well-taken finish.
Victory for Arsenal moved them up to fifth in the Premier League, having taken 10 points from their opening four games.
United, meanwhile, are now 11th - having won two and lost two on their first four matches.
