The man has been released on bail while police continue their investigation.

The alleged racist attack happened in Wavendon Gate after a family attempted to lighten the mood during lockdown.

They made a life-size figure of St George dressed in the traditional red and white flag and brandishing his dragon-slaying sword and displayed it in their front garden.

Next to him, they put a sign saying: 'The NHS will slay Covid-19.'

But on Thursday, St George's Day, they awoke to find 50 bags full of dog poo in their garden and the words Nazi sprayed on their path.
