A man who was arrested following an incident in which a horse "collided" with a hunt saboteur while jumping over a gate has been released on bail.

The 34-year-old was arrested on suspicion of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm on Tuesday.

The arrest came after Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs posted footage online of the incident in Whissendine, Rutland.

The group had been filming the Cottesmore Hunt when it happened on Saturday.

Leicestershire Police said the arrested man had now been released on bail.
