A man has handed himself in to police following an alleged hate crime incident.

The incident happened near the Clock Tower in Brighton on November 9, and Sussex Police are aware of a video circulating on social media.

An appeal was issued by the police yesterday and it included an image of a man officers wished to speak to.

The 39-year-old man from Brighton was arrested on suspicion of an offence under the Public Order Act.

He remains in police custody at this time.

A spokesman said: "Sussex Police recognises there is the potential for increased tensions and is engaging with communities and partners to ensure people feel safe and protected.

Anyone who experiences threatening behaviour or is worried about their safety is urged to contact Sussex Police.
