A teenager in Cumbria has been arrested after a video of ‘racial abuse’ surfaced online, where a black schoolboy was forced to kiss the shoe of a white male.
In the videos shared on X a white boy can be seen harassing a black boy who is in school uniform.
The white boy orders him to ‘get on your knees and kiss my shoe’ or ‘you are getting whacked’.
He then repeatedly tells him to ‘kiss my shoe’, as people behind the camera can be heard laughing.

The schoolboy tries to resist, but then bends down and is forced to kiss the boy’s muddy shoe.
In the other clip, which was also posted online, the same boy is captured following the pupil up the street.
He punches the student twice, before a bystander intervenes.
The incident is being treated as a hate crime and the tormentor has been arrested.
In a post shared on X on Saturday, Cumbria Constabulary confirmed the arrest of a teenager in relation to the hate incident.
