A West Ham fan has been arrested on suspicion of a hate crime after landing in Stansted Airport following reports that a orthodox Jewish man was subjected to offensive chanting yesterday.
Video footage onboard the Ryanair flight showed several fans signing a highly offensive song at the man as he attempted to take his seat on board the flight from Stansted to Genk on Thursday.
Essex Police confirmed the 55-year-old football fan was arrested as he stepped off the return flight from Belgium shortly before 4pm.
He has been taken to an Essex Police station for questioning.
