Police to probe 'anti-semitic video'

Police have confirmed they are investigating a complaint following footage of anti-Semitic chanting at Upton Park appearing on the internet.

West Ham have also promised to look into the claims that some of their fans engaged in the racist chanting on the day of the 4-3 home defeat by Tottenham on Sunday, the footage appearing on the internet the following day, although it has now been removed.

A police spokesperson said: "We can confirm that officers from the Public Order Branch Football Unit are investigating a complaint of an anti-Semitic video being shown on an internet site. The film appears to be made at the West Ham v Tottenham match on March 4."

The club said in a statement: "We are a leading campaigner in the Kick Racism out of Football campaign and we will not tolerate racist behaviour. We will investigate this matter fully."
