A gang of men, believed to be Chelsea fans, are being hunted by police after being heard shouting racist chants at St Pancras station.
The men were returning from Paris by train on Wednesday, the day after the club played Paris St Germain in the French capital.
The incident happened at the central London station at around 8pm, and was reported by a member of the public who was "disgusted" by their behaviour, the British Transport Police (BTP) said.
It comes after police released images of three men - believed to be Chelsea fans - who they want to speak to in connection with a separate incident on the Paris Metro on Tuesday.
A group of fans were captured on video stopping a black man boarding a train and chanting: "We're racist, we're racist, and that's the way we like it."
Speaking about the incident at St Pancras station, Superintendent Gill Murray of the BTP said: "The men shouted as they walked through the station having alighted from the train a short time earlier.
"If you travelled on the train from Paris or were at the station and have information which can assist our investigation I would urge you to get in touch as a matter of urgency."
Supt Murray continued: "It's clear that unfortunately there is still a minority who think it is acceptable to behave in such an abhorrent manner.
"There is more that needs to be done to publicly condemn this type of behaviour and British Transport Police is actively working with football clubs, the football authorities and other key agencies to tackle this appalling behaviour."
The club has suspended five people from Stamford Bridge, the club's stadium, while it investigates the incident on the Paris Metro.
Chelsea said it has received "substantial information" following an appeal for witnesses and an investigation was ongoing.
The club has reiterated its vow to ban for life anyone proved to have been involved, and is helping police in the UK and France.
Manager Jose Mourinho has said the club is "ashamed" of the supporters, and said he would welcome the victim - Sylla Souleymane - to a future home game.
Paris-born Mr Souleymane, 33, has said he thinks the fans who abused him should be jailed.
