Football fans outside a pub in central London can be seen hurling racist abuse at pro-Palestinian demonstrators in a video being shared online.

The group of men appear to be Leeds Football Club supporters who have travelled to the capital to watch the team play Millwall on Saturday.

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE

On the same day a huge protest took place across the capital to demonstrate against military action in Gaza.

In the video, shot outside The Green Man pub in Euston Road, the men can be heard shouting “Leeds” and confronting the protesters.

One begins hurling racist abuse, which is too offensive to repeat, and said: “F*** off and fight for your own country.”

The video, which has been viewed by more than 27,000 people, has attracted some racist comments on YouTube.
