Detectives investigating an unprovoked racist attack in Leeds have released CCTV footage of the group of males involved, which shows two of them appearing to celebrate after the incident.

The victim, a 20-year-old man, had been on his way to the gym when he was approached by the group of five males in Victoria Road in the city centre, near to the junction with Water Lane.

He was racially abused before one of the men threw a punch at him. As the victim fought back, the others joined in the attack and made further racist comments.
