A 42-year-old man from Launceston was arrested following an incident at UTAS Stadium on Friday night.

Shortly after the final siren of the AFL match, the man entered the playing surface, disrupting post-match activities while players and umpires were leaving the ground. Security personnel swiftly intervened, but during the incident, two security guards were assaulted.

Police attended and arrested the man, who appeared to be intoxicated.

No injuries were reported. The man was charged with trespass, assault and disorderly conduct, and will appear in court at a later date.
