Wiltshire Police released a statement saying:

A 15-year-old male from the Salisbury area was arrested on the evening of March 12 on suspicion of racial abuse. He has been released on police bail until April 13. The investigation is ongoing.

Three years ago a Twitter used who racially abused Stan Collymore on the social media platform was sentenced to do two years of community service.
