This is the shocking moment an international footballer is racially abused on a Liverpool bus - before passengers step in to defend him.
The alarming video was taken by 26-year-old footballer Pavel Vieira and shows a man repeatedly making vile racial slurs against him.
Merseyside Police confirmed officers are investigating the incident, which happened on Friday evening, and promised to take the 'strongest possible action.'
Pavel, who is from the African nation of Guinea-Bissau, had been at church.
