Police investigating an attack on a boy which was recorded and put on a website, have made an arrest.

The footage, uploaded on to video-sharing website YouTube, showed a Nottingham teenager being beaten while he begged his attacker to stop.

A 15-year-old youth from Radcliffe-on- Trent has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of assault and affray, a police spokeswoman said.

The mother of the bullied boy called for "cyber bullying" to be stopped.

She added her son had also been burnt three times on the arm by bullies and hit in the mouth in other attacks.
