A SIXTH youth has been arrested in connection with a series of homophobic attacks.

The 15-year-old was arrested by the Bromley police community safety unit on suspicion of homophobic affray, false imprisonment and breaching an Asbo.

He appeared at Greenwich Magistrates' Court on August 5 for the Asbo breach, following his arrest the previous day.

Five other youths have been arrested on suspicion of homophobic affray, false imprisonment and criminal damage.

The arrests followed a series of incidents against a couple who were allegedly subjected to abuse and threats.

Police arrested the teenagers at their home addresses on August 3 after studying CCTV footage.

All six have been bailed to return to a south London police station later this month.
