Three people have been arrested on suspicion of racially-aggravated assault in connection with an attack on two men outside Wolverhampton Railway Station.

British Transport Police (BTP) said it was investigating the attack, which took place at about 13.45 BST on Friday.

The victims were taken to hospital for treatment, before being discharged, the force confirmed. The suspects, aged 17, 19 and 25, were bailed pending further inquiries.

BTP said it was aware of a video purporting to show the attack that had been shared online.

"We're aware of a video on social media and understand the concern this will have caused in the community," a spokesperson for BTP said.

"We will not tolerate this sort of behaviour on the railway network and have launched a full investigation."

Sikh Federation UK said it had spoken to two men hurt at the station during a "vicious" attack on Friday, adding they were aged in their 60s and 70s, and of the Sikh faith.
