Police and stewards were quickly on the scene to prevent further confrontation and calm was restored 10 minutes later.
There was a similar incident in London last week when AZ supporters, including the family of coach Pascal Jansen, were accosted by West Ham fans.
This was after they celebrated the goal scored by the Dutch club in the first half of the first leg.
West Ham came back to win last Thursday’s match 2-1 and then scored a last-gasp winner in the second leg of the semi-final for a 3-1 aggregate triumph.
