British police today arrested two of 16 suspects who allegedly shouted racist and homophobic chants at former England defender Sol Campbell.

Hampshire police have released images of the men who are believed to have shouted the abuse at Portsmouth centre back Campbell during a game against Tottenham on September 28th.

The photos show the suspects caught on camera by a police officer at the match at Fratton Park.

Superintendent Neil Sherrington said: "As part of our investigation into indecent chanting at Fratton Park, we have identified 16 people we would like to speak to.

"Our inquiry is aimed at identifying and putting before the court those individuals who engaged in unacceptable behaviour at this public event.

"Their abuse caused distress to some supporters and was targeted at an individual.

"We want to send a clear message that abuse of this kind will not be tolerated and that we are taking robust action."
