Arrest made over racist tweet

A teenager has been arrested after allegedly posting a racist message on social networking site Twitter before the clash between Nottingham Forest and Leicester City.

The 18-year-old was detained on suspicion of committing a racially-aggravated public order offence, Nottinghamshire Police confirmed.

A police spokesman said the alleged offence involved a tweet being directed at Leicester's supporters ahead of last night's 2-2 draw at City Ground.
