POLICE were called to a restaurant following reports of "aggressive behaviour possibly involving Hereford United players".

Officers were called to Pizza Hut off Newtown Road just before 3pm last Friday.

It is believed the disagreement was over payment but police say the matter was resolved before they arrived.

Hereford United manager Jon Taylor, who wasn't at the restaurant, said the issue occurred when one of the players left the building to return to the Edgar Street club to pick up money - left by Mr Taylor - to pay for the meal.

He added that a member of staff at Pizza Hut had been "rude" to some of his players.

"The bill was paid in full," said Mr Taylor.

"The players would not go out somewhere and not pay."

Pizza Hut confirmed "an incident" took place.

"We can confirm that an incident occurred at our Hereford restaurant on Friday 17th October and we are currently assisting the local authorities with their investigations," said a spokesperson for the chain.

"As this is ongoing we are unable to comment further."

A West Mercia Police spokesperson said there will be no action taken.
