Racist Chelsea fans hunted by police

Video appears to show Chelsea football fans pushing a black man from boarding a Paris train, chanting "we're racist".
Footage of English football fans abusing a black man and proudly declaring their racism has gone viral around the world, sparking condemnation and a police search for the perpetrators.
It has also provoked debate about the nature of racism in modern Britain, in both football and politics.
Images caught on a mobile phone in Paris appear to show Chelsea fans preventing a young black man from boarding a train, repeatedly shoving him back on to the platform as he attempts to board, one fan yelling "Chelsea" at his face.

The group of white men can then be heard chanting, "We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it" in the footage filmed by British expat Paul Nolan and obtained by The Guardian in Britain.

Nolan, a video journalist living in Paris, said he noticed the fans were behaving in an agressive way when he arrived at the station, not allowing people on the train.
"There were threats of beatings. They said they're going to knife someone … and people were clearly very intimidated," Nolan said in an interview with The Washington Post.

Chelsea fans were out in force in Paris on Tuesday for the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. The footage was taken before the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Condemnation of the footage, which has appeared on major news websites around the world, has been swift.
British police, who were in Paris to assist with the policing operation that accompanied the game, have confirmed they are working with counterparts in France to identify those in the footage.
"The Metropolitan Police Service takes offences such as this very seriously, no matter where they occur," they said in a statement.
"We will examine the footage with a view to seeing if we can apply for football banning orders, preventing people from travelling from future matches."
British Prime Minister David Cameron described the footage as "extremely disturbing and very worrying", while Chelsea Football Club has described the men's behaviour as "abhorrent".
"We will support any criminal action against those involved in such behaviour, and should evidence point to the involvement of Chelsea season ticket holders or members, the club will take the strongest possible action against them including banning orders."
A Chelsea fan has since claimed the song was actually about current Chelsea captain John Terry, who was once charged by the Football Association for calling a player a "f---ing black c---" and said the fans were pushing the man off the train because it was crowded.
The incident is the latest high profile example of racist harassment by football fans.
A Chelsea fan was banned for life in 2012 for racist slurs at player Didier Drogba. According to the BCC, a Millwall fan was banned for life in 2013 for hurling racist abuse from the stands. In Europe, Spanish football club Villarreal was fined in 2014 after a fan threw bananas at Barcelona player Dani Alves.
Former England footballer Ian Wright challenged Chelsea to take action over the incident and said it reminded him of his own childhood.
