Fans jailed for racist attack on Tube

TWO football fans who attacked a Tube passenger with a bottle after taunting him and his friends with racist chants were each jailed for 21 months.
Edward Byrne, 40, from Southwark, and Sean Allen, 39, from Dorking, Surrey, launch­ed the attack at King’s Cross station following an Arsenal match in October 2005. They subjected the passengers to a tirade of abuse, calling them “Iraqi terrorists”. When one of the victims objected to the racist jibes, he was struck over the head with a beer bottle.
The two men were found guilty of racially aggravated assault, at Southwark Crown Court on Friday.
