A 39-year-old man from Brighton has been arrested after turning himself in to police in connection with a hate crime incident near the city’s iconic Clock Tower.
The arrest follows a public appeal by Sussex Police on Thursday, November 14, which included an image of a man officers wished to identify. The incident, reported on November 9, has also been the subject of a widely circulated video on social media.
A Sussex Police spokesperson stated: “We take reports of hate crimes extremely seriously. We are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our community.”
