Teen who assaulted a Syrian refugee will not face court
A teen who attacked a Syrian refugee at Almondbury Community School will not face court.
The charges against him were dropped due to lack of evidence that it was a "racially aggravated assault".
A viral video clip of the attack showed the 15-year-old pinned down and 'waterboarded' by another pupil.
A GoFundMe account was set up for the victim which has raised more than £120,000.
