London - Police in Wales arrested a man on Friday after a video of an attack, apparently carried out for fun, was posted on the popular video-sharing website YouTube.

The 19-second clip, recorded on a cellphone, shows a grinning youth ripping the glasses off a charity worker in a street of Wrexham, north Wales, and then running away while his friends roar with laughter.

The clip, posted Tuesday by "wxmboys", was titled "Wild specs robbery" and captioned: "pissed up bald lad steals randomers specs in street! Absolutely WILD!!!"

North Wales Police confirmed that a spectacles theft was reported in the town on Saturday.

They viewed the footage, which clearly shows the alleged perpetrator's face, and collared their prime suspect.

"We have arrested an 18-year-old man from Wrexham on suspicion of theft. The investigation is ongoing," a force spokesperson said.

Visitors to YouTube are able to leave their comments on clips posted on the site.

Among those left on Friday included: "brilliant isnt it, one of them's been arrested today hahaha"; "you guys think you are so clever. What goes around comes around" and "You're nicked son! Gutted!". - Sapa-AFP
