		</div><p>Police have arrested a man accused of racially abusing former England footballer Ashley Cole during an FA Cup third round tie.</p>
<p>A 24-year-old is in custody on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence, Wiltshire Police said on Saturday.</p>
<p>Cole, who played left-back for Arsenal and Chelsea during a lengthy top-flight career, was part of the ITV broadcast team when Swindon Town played Manchester City County Ground earlier this month.</p>
<p>The incident reportedly occurred in the corner between the Town End and the Don Rogers stand, where the ITV punditry team was based.</p>
<p>Superintendent Phil Staynings, Swindon commander, said: “Racial abuse of any kind will never be tolerated by Wiltshire Police.</p>
<p>“We have worked closely with the football club, who share our strong stance on this, and would like to thank them for their support in our ongoing investigation.</p>
<p>“We continue to encourage people to report these types of incidents and I’m pleased that my officers have been relentless in securing this positive arrest.</p>
<p>“We will continue to work with the club to stamp out hate crime of any kind that spoils matches for the majority of supporters.”</p>
<p>Premier League champions City eased past League Two Swindon 4-1 during the match on January 7th.</p>
