Two Millwall fans were arrested and dismissed from Saturday's FA Cup match between Leicester and Millwall after allegedly making disrespectful gestures.
Footage caught the offenders making haughty gestures related to the passing of former Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
The Leonardo AW169 helicopter had only been in the air for a short time before it suddenly fell from an altitude of around 430ft, despite the skilled pilot's efforts to control it.
The crash happened around an hour after a Premier League clash between Leicester City and West Ham United.
Although four of the five people on board initially survived the crash, they were unable to escape the helicopter as it quickly became engulfed in flames due to a severe fuel leak.
The video, which circulated on social media during the Saturday match that Leicester eventually won 3-2, showed a group of Millwall fans making sick hand gestures referencing the 2018 helicopter crash that took the life of the Thai billionaire Srivaddhanaprabha.
The unruly actions of the Millwall fans seemed to revel in reminding Leicester fans of the tragic event that deeply affected the entire sports community.
Meanwhile, the staff at the Den stadium took immediate action as they were spotted speaking to the two fans after the video of the incident was shared on social media.
According to Daily Mail, the Metropolitan Police have taken the two fans into custody after escorting them out of the stadium.
A spokesman of the Metropolitan Police said: ''Two men were detained and ejected from the ground."
''They will each be summonsed for an offense under the Public Order Act."
''Enquiries are ongoing to locate a third man in connection with the incident.''
Leicester City fans placed thousands of tributes in memory of Mr Srivaddhanaprabha, who was widely acknowledged for his pivotal role in transforming the club's success.
The club built a memorial garden in honor of the Thai billionaire and those who died in the crash in hopes of educating fans who make insensitive jokes.
Following the crash, Aiyawatt took over as Leicester's owner and chairman after his father's passing.
After eliminating Millwall, they will be getting ready for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
