An object which looked suspiciously like a sex toy was thrown onto the pitch during last night’s Wrexham vs Tranmere game.

Rovers goalkeeper Scott Davies had to pick up the pink object and remove it from the field of play.

It is believed the object was thrown from the Tranmere end.

North Wales Police said a man was arrested on suspicion of throwing a “missile” on the pitch but refused to comment on the object.

A spokesman said: “We are unable to comment on what type of article was thrown, as it will form part of the evidence still to be put to the accused and/or used as part of a prosecution case.”

Another man was arrested on suspicion of making racist comments and assault.

Inspector Paul Wycherley was tweeting during the game.

He said one man was arrested for assaulting a steward and a police officer and on suspicion of making racist comments.

The derby at the Racecourse finished 2-2 with minor crowd trouble reported.

Both arrested men are still in custody, but police refused to confirm if they were Wrexham or Tranmere fans.

The heated derby saw at least two flares set off by supporters in the crowd, one by Wrexham fans and one by the supporters in the visiting section.
