The video was apparently filmed by a supporter at the Green Man pub in Wembley ahead of Arsenal's FA Cup semi-final win over Reading.
The footage appears to show a homophobic chant – sang along to Lily Allen song Smile – being aimed at Cole, who left Arsenal to join London rivals Chelsea in 2006.
The video has since been deleted from Twitter.
A Metropolitan police spokesman told Sportsmail: 'Police are aware of the video currently circulation on social media. The content is currently being assessed.
'Officers are in the process of contacting relevant parties. No arrests have been made.'
Cole currently plays for Serie A club Roma in Italy after leaving Chelsea last year.
He was an unused substitute for their 1-1 draw against Atalanta the day after Arsenal beat Reading 2-1 on Saturday to reach the FA Cup final.
