The all-Welsh FA Cup encounter between Newport County and Swansea City descended into chaos when the fourth official was hit by a coin.
The incident came after Alan Sheffield told the referee he had been verbally abused by County manager Peter Beadle.
As Beadle made his way to the stand, Sheffield collapsed after being struck, causing an eight-minute delay to the game - which Swansea won 3-1.
Sheffield was stretchered off and taken to hospital in an ambulance
