The victim of a racist incident involving Chelsea soccer fans in the Paris metro did not know the incident had been filmed and widely broadcast and will now lodge an official complaint with police, he told French daily Le Parisien. "I don't speak a word of English ... but it was clear to me they were picking on me because of the color of my skin," the victim, identified by Le Parisien as Souleymane, 33, said. The Paris prosecutor's office has started an investigation to find the people responsible for chanting: "We're racist and that's the way we like it" as they stopped a black man boarding a metro train in Paris on Tuesday. The incident was captured on video by another passenger on the platform at the Richelieu-Drouot metro station before English club Chelsea played Paris St Germain in a Champions League match at the Parc des Princes in the French capital.
