A man has been arrested over social media posts directed at England football players following the Euro 2020 final.
Greater Manchester Police said the 37-year-old man handed himself in at Cheadle Heath police station on Wednesday morning.
Officials said they could not confirm the man’s identity at this stage, but said he was from Ashton-Upon-Mersey.
He was arrested on suspicion of an offence under the Malicious Communications Act and remains in custody for questioning.
It comes after Andrew Bone, a 37-year-old commercial building manager from Greater Manchester, was suspended by his employer Savills over a racist tweet about England footballers.
He was reported to have contacted police claiming his Twitter account had been hacked when the post appeared on Sunday night.
