'Anti-Semitic' chanting probed

23 February 2015 10:31

Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out has contacted police after video footage surfaced of a group of apparent West Ham fans chanting an anti-Semitic song on the London Underground en route to the 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

The video appeared on social media and showed a group of fans chanting: "I've got a foreskin, how about you? F****** Jew."

West Ham are expected to release a statement later on Monday. In the build-up to the match the club had reminded fans attending the game at White Hart Lane that they had "a zero tolerance policy towards any form of discriminatory behaviour".

Kick it Out said in a statement: "Kick It Out has received several reports via social media about the footage and will be liaising with British Transport Police on the matter. In addition, we have been informed of a number of anti-Semitic tweets which we are reporting to the police."
