Police will not prosecute a 10-year-old boy who was arrested after kicking a 12-year-old in the head during a football match last month.

The incident was filmed by a spectator and uploaded to YouTube.

The boy's parents have been informed of police's decision. The family of the victim will meet Justice Department representatives to discuss the case.

'After seeking legal advice, the arrested person has been unconditionally released,' a police spokesman said.

The boy was arrested and released on bail last month. He was asked to report back to police on Monday.
