Myles Roberts was targeted following Connor Barrett's 91st-minute winner on Saturday.
In a statement, Swindon Town FC said: "The Club is aware of a number of serious incidents involving the use of pyrotechnics, objects being thrown, abuse directed at stewards, staff, players, and match officials, as well as damage caused to property within the stadium.
