POLICE say they are continuing investigations following an alleged hate crime outside a Barrow hotel.

Officers arrested a 66-year-old following an incident outside the Holiday Inn in Market Street that was shared widely on social media.

Cumbria Police have now revealed that the man is still under investigation as police continue to probe the incident.

"Any hate-related incidents will not be tolerated and will be dealt with robustly," a police spokesman said following the incident in August.
