Paris: A black French man pushed off a Paris metro train and racially abused by Chelsea supporters yesterday made a criminal complaint to police and demanded that the fans be punished.

"These people, these English supporters, must be found, punished and locked up," the victim of the widely condemned assault told Le Parisien newspaper.

The man, who has not been officially identified but was named as 33-year-old Souleymane S went to a police station at nearby Gonesse to make an official criminal complaint, judicial sources said.

French and British police are already hunting the self-proclaimed racist fans who took part in the episode in a central Paris metro station before Chelsea's 1-1 Champions League draw against PSG.
