Anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson has waded into the scandal around the bullying of a refugee by airing disputed claims about one of the boys involved.
A video of a schoolboy pouring water over the face of a child refugee in Huddersfield provoked outrage when it was shared online yesterday.
English Defence League founder Robinson - now an adviser to Ukip - was accused of having influenced the bully, after it emerged the boy had shared his Facebook posts.
He has now become further involved in the incident by sharing disputed claims about the boy who was attacked.
Tommy Robinson has been criticised for wading into the row over a bullied refugee boy
Robinson, 36, told his followers that he had received messages from a mother from the area, who claimed the bullied boy was involved in an attack on her daughter.
But other Facebook users shared images of messages in which the girl's mother denied the Syrian boy was involved and her message to Robinson had been misunderstood.
The woman behind the claims appears to have since removed her account from Facebook.
Critics accused Robinson of 'stirring up hate and division' with his online comments.
It comes after West Yorkshire Police said that a 16-year-old has been interviewed over the attack on the refugee boy, and reported for summons for an offence of assault ahead of a youth court appearance.
The boy was questioned by police over the footage in which the 15-year-old victim, with his arm in a cast, is thrown to the ground.
He is dragged to the floor by his neck before his attacker says, 'I'll drown you', while forcing water from a bottle into his mouth.

ITV News reported the victim fled war-torn Homs with his family and now feels unsafe going to the school following the incident last month.
'I woke up at night and just started crying about this problem. They think I'm different - different from them,' he told the broadcaster.
'I don't feel safe at school. Sometimes I say to my dad, 'I don't want to go to school anymore'. I was just crying and I didn't do nothing because I respect the school rules.'
Supporters say they are organising a peaceful protest outside the school on Thursday.
He appears not to have been the only victim, with a fresh video emerging of a hijab-wearing girl pushed down a grass verge and shoved by a group.
The family's lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, said it is the boy's 14-year-old sister and she was attacked on Tuesday morning.
The young Syrian boy was so distressed by the bullying he said he woke up crying in the middle of the night
West Yorkshire Police said: 'We have been made aware of a video showing a girl being assaulted at Almondbury Community School yesterday (27/11).
'The incident had not previously been reported to the police but we are now liaising with the girl's family who we are continuing to support.
'Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Kirklees District CID via 101.'
The first incident's alleged perpetrator has been the subject of hundreds of violent threats online.
A Facebook account believed to belong to him features numerous posts shared from the page of Robinson.
One of those posts, apparently referencing comments by Boris Johnson about Muslim women wearing veils, read: 'Should Britain ban letterboxes because of all the trouble they're causing?'
Robinson was jailed for contempt of court earlier this year after posting videos about a child grooming trial involving a group of Asian men from Huddersfield. He was later freed on appeal.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
