Coventry’s Thomas had cancelled out Summerville’s opener in the 1-1 draw, with the Leeds star left unhappy at the final whistle.
He went for the defender and had to be stopped by Coventry midfielder Joel Latibeaudiere.
His own team-mate Wilfried Gnonto also intervened by restraining Summerville, who grabbed Latibeaudiere by the collar.
Summerville tried to escape Gnonto’s grasp but the Leeds forward was able to take him away from the melee and Georginio Rutter escorted him down the tunnel.
Sky Blues star Casey Palmer also got involved in the ruckus and had to be restrained by his team-mates in what were ugly scenes at Elland Road.
A draw for Leeds means they failed to make up ground on Ipswich following their 2-2 draw with rivals Norwich.
Southampton won too which means the two sides are level on points, although Leeds remain third – ten points off second place Ipswich.
Meanwhile Coventry are now unbeaten in three games and moved seven points clear of the relegation zone following QPR’s defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
