Two women have been bailed pending further inquiries into racial abuse shouted by passers-by during an Sky News interview in Warwickshire.
A police statement said two women from Nuneaton were arrested on Wednesday as part of an investigation into an interaction between several members of the public which was widely shared on social media and in the news.
Warwickshire Police confirmed on Thursday that the pair, aged 30 and 43, have since been bailed with conditions, including an instruction not to enter Nuneaton town centre.
Police said members of the public were subjected to racial abuse, with one reportedly being pushed.
The younger woman was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence, while the second was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and of racially aggravated common assault.
The Sky News interview in Nuneaton was disrupted as a local businessman was being asked for his view of tensions in the community relating to the issue of asylum seekers.
