VICTORIA - Victoria police are investigating after wrestling superstar Chris Jericho's altercation with fans following a World Wrestling Entertainment event.

In a video of Saturday's incident posted on YouTube, Jericho appears to strike a female fan in the face.

In a statement, the WWE says Jericho's car was attacked by a mob as he left the event and that as he exited the vehicle to ask the crowd to clear a path, a man and woman physically and verbally assaulted him.

Police spokesman Grant Hamilton says a man and woman were taken into custody, questioned and released, and that the man was not Jericho.

Hamilton says police have been in contact with WWE officials and they are co-operating with the investigation.

Hamilton says it's too early to determine whether or not charges will be laid because police haven't viewed all the video footage and more witnesses have to be interviewed.
