Two men have been arrested after a mural to George Floyd in the Northern Quarter was urinated on.
The shocking incident was caught on CCTV in the early hours of Wednesday (17 February) morning.
The offenders could be seen urinating against the memorial on Stevenson Square whilst filming themselves, local councillors said.
Two men, both aged 22, have since been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated criminal damage.
They remain in custody waiting to be quizzed by detectives.
The latest incident comes two days after the painting was defaced with racist graffiti for a second time.
On Sunday night, the memorial was targeted after a large 'N' was sprayed over it.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
The mural was also defaced with vile graffiti last summer when a masked vandal sprayed 'n****r' over Mr Floyd's face.
