Chelsea fans go on rampage in Paris ahead of Champions League tie

Dozens of fans involved ahead of Paris Saint-Germain match

Reports Nazi salutes and racist abuse in St Denis area

Chelsea fans went on the rampage in a tourist area of central Paris on Wednesday night making Nazi salutes and smashing up cafés and shops.


Dozens of fans, many of whom had been drinking in a Frog and Rosbif pub in the St Denis area were pictured stampeding down a pedestrian street near the celebrated Beaubourg Museum and Les Halles shopping centre. Witnesses said several made Nazi salutes, shouted English Defence League chants and racist abuse before attacking Paris Saint Germain fans. Bottles were thrown at drinkers enjoying a mild evening on the terraces of nearby cafés forced to flee as the violence spread. Riot police quickly arrived, but a large group of fans ran off towards the River Seine.
