THE man who was arrested after being seen scaring children near a school in Malvern while wearing a pig mask has been bailed.
The 55 year old was arrested by police on suspicion of a racially-aggravated public order offence after being seen harassing children in Barnards Green on December 6.
He has been bailed until December 28.
The police did not say where the arrest took place, but comments on social media indicated that it was close to the Chase School.
Last Tuesday (December 3) the school sent out a letter to parents warning them about the man and urging them to report any incidents to police.
The letter said: "We have been notified by several students and parents of a man acting strangely outside school yesterday.
"The man was wearing a full pig mask and approaching students on their way home."
