A teenager has been arrested over reports of an alleged hate crime on a black schoolboy in Carlisle.

A video circulating online appears to show the student being pushed and punched by a white boy before being made to kiss his shoes.

Cumbria Constabulary confirmed it had arrested a teenage boy "in relation to a report of a hate incident".

The force said it was aware of "concerns in the community" and asked people not to share the video.

"As an arrest has been made we would urge people not to share the video further so as not to impede any legal proceedings or to identify any of the children involved," it said.
