Chelsea Fans Filmed Pushing Black Man Off Paris Metro by whyteheart: 10:25am On Feb 18, 2015 |
A shocking video of a group of Chelsea supporters singing a racist chant and preventing a black man from boarding the Métro in Paris has sparked widespread condemnation. Amateur footage shows the man repeatedly trying to get onto a train, only to be shoved out of the door and back onto the platform. The fans are heard chanting "We’re racist, we’re racist, and that’s the way we like it". The incident was filmed at the Richelieu-Drouot station ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes on 17 February, and released to the Guardian by British expatriate Paul Nolan. Chelsea released a statement on Tuesday evening condemning the behaviour of the fans. "Such behaviour is abhorrent and has no place in football or society," Chelsea's statement read. "We will support any criminal action against those involved, and should evidence point to involvement of Chelsea season-ticket holders or members the club will take the strongest possible action against them, including banning orders." Mr Nolan told the Guardian: “The doors were open and I could see and hear that a lot of chanting was going on. It looked like it was quite aggressive so I just took out by phone to record it. "He was obviously completely shocked when they pushed him off. I don’t think he realised who they were. He then tried to get on again and got pushed off a second time. "I was just completely appalled by it and so that’s why I tried to catch some of it on my phone, although I was a bit self-conscious as it was getting quite aggressive and I overhead one of the Chelsea fans say something about stabbing someone. I think he was referring to a Paris Saint-Germain supporter who was on the platform," Mr Nolan added. "There definitely was a culture shock. I heard a couple of French guys saying: 'I can’t believe this. It’s insane.'" French police reportedly used teargas outside the match venue when scuffles involving Chelsea fans flared up before the game. The train incident could potentially lead to disciplinary action from Uefa if the governing body decided an event that occurred away from the stadium was within its remit. If further action was taken, Chelsea could face a fine and a warning. Source: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/chelsea-fans-filmed-pushing-black-man-off-paris-metro-10052713.html |
