According to French publication L'Equipe, the defender initially reacted to the taunts by kicking a ball in the direction of the French side's supporters, claim which has now been backed up by a fan was reportedly close to the action.
"At the start of the warm-up, there was no net, and he was sending balls into the stands, the Marseille fans told RMC Sport.
"He could not find the net. It's not complicated for a professional player. He did not apologise. It got everyone a bit angry.
"I will not say the words because it's a bit vulgar, but he hit back by insulting the mothers of the fans.
"So naturally, we, the Marseille fans, we are a little angry.
"It does not excuse the behaviour of the supporter, but it excuses even less the act of Patrice Evra to kick him in the head."
