British Transport Police hunt for seven Chelsea supporters who were allegedly involved in racist chanting at St Pancras International train station last week.

British Transport Police have appealed to the public to help identify seven Chelsea supporters who are alleged to have sung racist chants at St Pancras International train station in London last week.

Twenty-four hours after a group of Chelsea fans allegedly shoved a black man off a train at a Paris Metro station and chanted, "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it", a fresh allegation of racism was made.

Now, the British Transport Police have released images of seven men believed to have been involved in the St Pancras station incident at around 8pm last Wednesday.

DS Steven Graysmark is quoted by The Guardian as saying: "I want anyone who knows the men in the photographs to come forward. I believe the seven, thought to be Chelsea fans, can help us with the investigation."

Five men have been suspended from attending Stamford Bridge following last week's incident in Paris.
