British police say they have arrested two teenage boys after a racist attack on a student from Singapore amid a spate of incidents linked to the spread of the coronavirus.

The victim, Jonathan Mok, 23, posted an account on Facebook on Monday, saying one of his attackers told him:"I don't want your coronavirus in my country.""This attack left the victim shaken and hurt," Detective Sergeant Emma Kirby said.

"There's no room on our streets for this kind of violent behaviour and we are committed to finding the perpetrators.""Personally, I have experienced several racist statements directed to me in the past weeks, some involving references to the coronavirus," Mr Mok wrote.
