It is unclear what began the incident, or whether any arrests were made.

A section of Millwall fans had earlier booed the taking of the knee before the match.

Cardiff players took part in the anti-racism gesture while their opposition remained standing, with the home crowd applauding the stance.

Lions boss Gary Rowett made headlines during the week by blaming those taking the knee for 'causing a rift' - earning a sharp rebuttal from ex-Championship winning captain Jobi McAnuff.

On the pitch on Saturday, Cardiff took all three points after a four-goal second-half.

A quiet start gave way to Aden Flint's header on 66 minutes.
