Irish teenager hands himself into the police after Ian Wright shared sickening abuse - including messages calling him a 'f***ing monkey' - directed at him over Instagram

An Irish teenager has handed himself into police after Arsenal legend Ian Wright made public horrendous racist abuse sent to him on Instagram.

The 56-year-old, who is now a pundit on Match of the Day, shared screenshots of numerous messages aiming to abuse him.

He was called a 'f***ing monkey', a 'n****r' and a 'cotton picking black c**n' in what looked to be a completely unprovoked attack.
