Police investigating an incident in Bradford city centre where a 15-year-old male was assaulted have made two further arrests.
The males, who are both aged 16, were arrested on Friday and Saturday and have since been released under investigation for enquiries to continue.
Another male, also 16, who was earlier arrested in connection with the incident also remains under investigation.
The arrests follow an incident that was recorded in City Park, which happened at about 4.00pm on Sunday 24 February, and widely shared online. The graphic footage shows a boy being repeatedly kicked in the head.
Police have advised that contrary to social media reports the victim is of Asian ethnicity and following further investigation into the circumstances can now confirm that the assault was not hate-motivated.
The victim, who suffered minor injuries, and his family are being supported by officers as the investigation continues.
