Yob caught on camera abusing pro-Palestine protesters revealed as Chelsea fan after chaotic scenes in London
A YOB caught on camera abusing pro-Palestine protesters is a Chelsea fan who works as a secretary at his local football club.
Kevin Sweeney, 61, was filmed shouting “terrorist c***” at demonstrators in London Waterloo railway station on Saturday.
British Transport Police plastered his face on social media along with pictures of three other men they also want to speak to about the row.
Neighbours said cops were at his semi-detached £400k house on Sunday night – but claimed Mr Sweeney was not home.
His son opened the door today and admitted he had seen the viral video but did not want to talk about his father’s actions.
One neighbour said: “The police were out here on Sunday night. But he wasn’t here.
“I can’t believe he’s done anything wrong. He’s not that type of person.
“He’s a Chelsea fan. And he’s a secretary at Molesey Football Club.”
Mr Sweeney plays for their veterans team but his profile on their website was mysteriously inaccessible – as were posts from the club’s account on X/Twitter.
In 2004, he played alongside ex-Blues legends like Ray Wilkins, Clive Walker and Gary Chilvers for a charity match at their Walton Road stadium.
The chaos unfolded over the weekend as protests turned ugly in London.
Mr Sweeney was among a group being hunted by cops as counter-protesters, pro-Palestine demonstrators and police clashed.
Violence broke out as missiles and fireworks were launched at police with 145 people arrested – with Defence Secretary Grant Shapps saying there will likely be more.
