Police are investigating an incident between Cardiff defender Krystian Bielik and home supporters during Portsmouth's 2-0 Championship win on Saturday.
Bielik was involved in a physical altercation with a fan as he went to retrieve a ball from the crowd late in the second half.
Hampshire Police were notified of the incident during the match and launched an investigation immediately afterwards.
"We can confirm that we are investigating an incident in which a teenage boy was reportedly the victim of a common ***** ault during the football match at Fratton Park. Our enquiries are ongoing," the police said.
Several Portsmouth supporters made gestures that indicated they believed the fan had been grabbed by the throat.

What exactly happened in England this afternoon? During the match between Portsmouth FC and Cardiff City, away defender Krystian Bielik and a fan got into an altercation.
With the home side leading 2-0, the young fan tried to stop Bielik from taking a quick throw-in. The Pole clearly did not take kindly to that. He grabbed the home fan by the neck before the boy's family members stepped in and calmed the situation down.
The crazy part: according to media reports, the family, including the young fan, was then thrown out of the stadium. Bielik, meanwhile, did not even receive a card for his action. However, the Pole had already been booked earlier.

West Bromwich Albion left-back Callum Styles has said he has taken on more of a leadership role in the side after the departures of several experienced players and the arrival of younger talent during the summer transfer window.
Seven new arrivals at The Hawthorns were aged 23 or younger, while three players aged over 30 made their exits this summer alongside Karlan Grant and Kristian Bielik, both 28, and 27-year-old Josh Maja.
The plan to bring more youth into the team means Styles, 26, is one of the older members of the squad.
"I think that's natural [to step into leadership] when you've played a lot of games in the Championship and you're getting older season by season," Styles told BBC Radio WM.
"Quite a few of us that were here last year feel like it's our role to then get the new lads adjusted to the league, to the team and to the physicality as quickly as possible.

Cardiff defender Krystian Bielik is confident the Bluebirds can reach the Championship play-offs.
Bielik joined from West Brom last week and was pleased with his debut in the 2-2 draw with Sheffield United, but felt his new side deserved all three points.
The 28-year-old thinks Cardiff are capable of beating any team in the Championship if they iron out a few issues at both ends of the pitch.
Cardiff face unbeaten QPR at Loftus Road on Wednesday, 2 September (19:45 BST), and Bielik hopes they can build momentum with their first league win since promotion.
"The club is very optimistic, as every club should be. The plans for the future are for the Premier League," said Bielik.

West Brom boss James Morrison has confirmed the club are close to signing Levante winger Kareem Tunde after their 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle.
Morrison refused to discuss the deal in detail but indicated an announcement could be imminent.
"Yes, it's close," Morrison said. "I'll talk about it when it's done."
The Baggies boss also explained the decision to allow Krystian Bielik to leave for Cardiff City, insisting the defender wanted more regular football.
"Personally, the club felt it was a good offer," Morrison said.
