Police investigating a snowball fight which led to what was claimed to be a racist attack in the south side of Glasgow have arrested four people.

Four white men were seriously injured after they were allegedly assaulted by a group of Asian men on Kenmure Street in Pollokshields on Sunday.

It followed a friendly snowball fight with a group of Asian youths.

A 15-year-old boy and three men aged 19, 28 and 29 years are expected to appear in court on Monday.

Det Insp Gary Thomson said: "We hope that these arrests help reassure members of the public that racism in Strathclyde will not be tolerated in any shape or form.

"Anyone who is a victim of racial crime should be assured that police will act and they will be afforded the full protection of the law."

A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
