Police say they are investigating an alleged racist attack at Manor Heath Park in Halifax

A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated assault after a video of a confrontation in a Yorkshire park circulated online.

The video, seen by the BBC, shows a man and a woman making racial comments towards a woman and child as they walk through Manor Heath Park in Halifax on Thursday.

A man is seen throwing water at the woman and appears to ask her if she arrived in the UK by crossing the English Channel in a boat.

West Yorkshire Police said the suspects were arrested on Saturday and remain in custody as inquiries continue.

In the video, the woman told the man she is a health worker and has lived in the UK for 15 years.

West Yorkshire Police thanked the public for their help in finding the suspects.
