Three teenagers have been released on bail after an alleged race attack on two businessmen.

Two 17-year-old boys and a 15-year-old boy were arrested after the assault in Harbour Street, Ramsgate on the evening of August 27.

It comes after two people - a man in his 30s and another in his 50s - were said to have suffered minor injuries during a disturbance at commercial premises there.

The three teens, all from the Margate area, were arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated assault, and released on police bail until later this month.

Inspector Rhiannan Pepper from the Thanet Community Safety Unit said: "We do not underestimate the impact that anti-social behaviour can have on the lives of our residents and we work closely with our partner agencies to tackle the issue head on.

"We ask residents to continue to work with us, report incidents, keep a diary of events so we can continue to crack down on the small minority who insist on making life miserable for others."
