LONDON (AP) — British police are investigating an allegation of racist chanting by men, believed to be Chelsea fans, as they returned from a Champions League match in Paris.

British Transport Police says Saturday the “unsavory” incident was reported by a member of the public who was disgusted by behavior of the men at St. Pancras station in London on Wednesday.

Gill Murray, superintendent of British Transport Police, says “the men shouted (racist chants) as they walked through the station.”

Chelsea banned five people from its Stamford Bridge stadium after an investigation into a separate racist incident, in which a black man was blocked from boarding a Paris metro train by a group of Chelsea fans on Tuesday.

That incident was filmed by a passenger.

Chelsea drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
