Statement in relation to allegation of racially aggravated harassment on Isle of Wight
Police can confirm a 34-year-old man from Shanklin, Isle of Wight answered street bail by attending Newport Police Station on the evening of Wednesday, April 27, 2011.
He was interviewed by police on suspicion of causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress under section 4A of the Public Order Act 1986.

The 34-year-old man was released with no further action because of insufficient evidence to confirm any criminal offence had been committed.
A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said: “Anyone who perceives they are the victim of a racially aggravated crime is entitled to make a report to the police.
“We will treat such allegations seriously to provide reassurance for victims and to protect the integrity of appropriate lines of enquiry.”
