Four teenage girls have been arrested after a video was posted online appearing to show a Muslim couple being verbally abused on a tram in Manchester.

The man and woman were with their baby when they were racially abused by a group of passengers on the Metrolink, Greater Manchester Police said.

The incident happened as the service travelled between Shaw and the city centre at around 3.30pm on Friday.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: “Following enquiries by officers, four girls aged between 16 and 18 have been arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence.

“Further enquiries are ongoing in an effort to identify and arrest the other offenders.”
