Two men have been arrested after a car was reportedly driven towards a crowd leaving a rugby match.
Police were called to Gloucester’s Kingsholm Stadium shortly after the home side’s 25-9 Gallagher Premiership victory over Wasps on Saturday amid reports a car was driven at supporters leaving the ground.
