Israeli football fans raided a McDonald branch in Jerusalem and attacked its Arab workers, a CCTV video released on Tuesday by the Israeli police shows.

Fans of the football club, Beitar Jerusalem, are seen on the footage moving in front of a McDonald branch in a shopping center near the club's football field.

The footage shows them trying to break into the restaurant, throwing objects at the windows and beating workers with chairs. It also shows workers throwing back chairs at the fans.

The police arrested two fans on suspicion of a racially- motivated attack, a police spokesperson told Xinhua.

According to the police, the attack followed Beitar's first training session of the season, during which a group of fans swore and threw stones at players who supported the hiring of two Muslim players from Chechnya in the last season. The players needed a police escort to leave the field.

Israeli football fields have become an arena for racism and violence.

Last March, more than 300 Beitar's fans attacked a dozen workers at the Malha Mall in Jerusalem. Only after about an hour of riots in which the fans chanted hate slogans, bullied Arab workers, and spit on three Arab women and their children, had the police managed to halt them.
