A man has been arrested for using racist abuse in Tottenham's win against Southampton.
A 57-year-old, who was with the away supporters at White Hart Lane, was reported to police by two Southampton fans for hurling anti-Semitic abuse during the match.
Police confirmed they had arrested the man over 'a racially aggravated offence' and bailed him until May 19.
The man was shouting anti-semitic abuse at Tim Sherwood's team, who have a large Jewish background
A Met spokesman said: 'During the Tottenham versus Southampton match at White Hart Lane on March 23, officers in the stadium received a complaint regarding the behaviour of a man sat in an area reserved for away supporters.
'The complaint was made by two people sat in the same area of the stadium.
'Officers arrested the man on suspicion of a racially aggravated offence under section five of the Public Order Act.
'He was taken into custody and subsequently bailed until May 19, pending further investigation.'
Just last year Tottenham's own fans were warned they would face criminal prosecution if they continued their 'Yid Army' chant, even though some fans consider it to be against anti-Semitism.
