Police have arrested two people on suspicion of racial hatred after a video appeared online showing a man burning a copy of the Koran.
The video, which MailOnline has chosen not to publish, shows a tattooed man standing in a kitchen complaining about being unable to start a fire.
Speaking into the camera, he says: 'I've been trying to get my poxy fire started for half-hour wondering what s**t I can get it going with.'
Holding a paperback copy of the Koran up to the camera, he adds: 'And then I found this.'
Superintendent Kevin Purcell said: 'This was a concerning incident and we will be carrying out a thorough investigation. It is being investigated as a hate crime.
'We have been in contact with our local Muslim community via Councillor Jabba Riaz, deputy Mayor for Worcester who, as always, acts as a critical friend in support of what we do.'

It's an interesting idea. You could imagine thousands of towns at, say 11:00, burning a book or lots of them. Would it do any long-term good or not? Would it get a message across?
