A SECURITY guard has told police he was assaulted by a North Melbourne official around half-time of Saturday's match against Richmond in Hobart.
The Kangaroos are aware of the alleged incident, with coach Brad Scott understood to be seeking legal advice.
"The incident occurred around 2.35pm and involved a man who was working as a security guard and a person believed to be a North Melbourne official," Tasmanian police said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
North Melbourne confirmed on Monday it was aware of allegations against Scott.
"The club is gathering all available information in order to prepare a response," the statement on Monday evening read.
"No further comment can be made at this time."
The Kangaroos defeated Richmond at the venue on Saturday.
The alleged assault would have occurred during the second quarter of Saturday's match, a term that Scott admitted afterwards was not his team's finest.
"After some really disappointing lapses in concentration and some poor discipline late in the second quarter, we were able to respond and keep our emotions in check and take out any frustration we had on the scoreboard," Scott said after his side's 35-point win.
