Paris Metro abuse victim: ‘I felt truly wounded’

The man abused by “racist” Chelsea fans says he was left “wounded” and “humiliated” and that the incident is the club’s “responsibility”.

In his first UK media interview, Souleymane S, who was prevented from boarding a train by a group of Chelsea supporters on the Paris Metro on Tuesday, has told BBC Radio 5 live Drive that he’s had no contact from the club.

Amateur video showed Souleymane being pushed while a group of Chelsea fans chant "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it”.

Souleymane told BBC Radio 5 live Drive: “I felt truly wounded to the bottom of my heart that I really couldn't believe it. We're in 2015 aren’t we and we’re in France. We’re in a civilised country and when you are in a civilised country there are certain things you can’t do.

“For me, it’s a humiliation. I was humiliated in my country. I was humiliated in front of my family, humiliated in front of my mother and father.

“Of course it's Chelsea's responsibility. It's their supporters. They (the fans) didn't say Paris, they said Chelsea. Chelsea should call my lawyer. And they haven't done that yet. It's their supporters. The director general of PSG has called my lawyer but Chelsea haven't contacted my lawyer”

Chelsea have said they are "appalled" and have apologised to the victim. Manager Jose Mourinho said today he is "ashamed" of the fans involved.
