A pitch invasion during Derby County's home defeat to Nottingham Forest saw visiting defender Kelvin Wilson attacked by one fan.
Forest owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi later claimed his car had been vandalised, reports the Mail on Sunday.
The supporter ran on to the playing surface seconds after the final whistle following his team's late surrender of a lead in the east Midlands derby, twice swinging for the defender.
Team-mate Jack Hobbs grabbed the thug before four stewards bundled the man away.
A 23-year-old from Derby has been arrested in connection with the incident and police also confirmed cars and a bus were damaged in a car park.
