He was confronted by Rams players and the majority of both teams and coaching staff then become involved in a tussle.

Tyson told the Forest website: "I've had a long time to reflect on my actions and I intend to write to the FA and apologise.

"It wasn't the best thing to do and I'm quite embarrassed about it all.

"I shouldn't have done it. I realise that now and I would like to apologise to anyone who I offended and anyone who may have been hurt.

"I'm a better person than that. I'm a man and I know when I've made mistakes.

"I'll learn from it and definitely won't be doing anything like that again."
