The incident happened at Sixways Stadium in Worcester [Getty Images]
Redditch United have apologised after its supporters directed "misogynistic comments" at a Worcester City staff member during a match.
The incident happened during Monday's fixture at Sixways Stadium, prompting the club to issue a statement condemning the behaviour.
Redditch United said the comments were "completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated".
West Mercia Police said they received reports of sex-based harassment at the match, and two people, aged 15 and 27, had been removed from the away section by security.
Police said the supporters' details were taken and they would be voluntarily interviewed at a later date.
Redditch United said it had "a zero-tolerance policy towards abuse or discrimination" and that those responsible would face banning orders when police inquiries conclude.
Club chairman David Faulkner said: "Redditch United is proud to be a welcoming and inclusive club. We take our responsibilities to our players, staff, and supporters extremely seriously, and any behaviour that falls below the standards we expect has no place at our football club."
