posted the footage and later spoke with the woman who recorded the incident, who said police were called during the game.
The match was Vinicius' first at the Mestalla since last May, when he was racially abused by home fans. The Brazilian scored twice on Saturday night to help Los Blancos secure a point, though they were denied a late winner after the referee blew for full-time before Jude Bellingham headed in a cross.
Valencia outlawed three fans for racist abuse during the game last May and were also hit with a three-game partial stadium ban by the Spanish football federation.
Vinicius was also involved in a fiery confrontation after equalising with Valencia striker Hugo Duro, who accused him of disrespect with his celebration.
