    Police have made an arrest after reports of a man wearing an offensive costume depicting Manchester Arena bomber, Salman Abedi.

    North Yorkshire Police said yesterday that it had received complaints about a man wearing the costume on social media.

    Officers have since arrested a Harrogate district man in his 40s in connection with the incident.

    In a statement, the force added:

    “The man was arrested on 1 November on suspicion of a number of offences including using a public communication network to send offensive messages.”


    In an update this morning, police said the man was released on conditional police bail to allow for further enquiries to be carried out.

    Abedi killed 22 people in a suicide attack at Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017.
