A 21-year-old man has been arrested after racially offensive Twitter comments were made about footballer Fabrice Muamba, who collapsed after suffering a cardiac arrest during an FA Cup tie.
He is being held at Swansea Central Police Station, South Wales Police said.The comments appeared on the Twitter account @liamstacey9, which has since been taken down.
While the feed was still visible, comments claimed that his account had been hacked.
Other users of the micro-blogging service responded with outrage to the remarks.
Muamba, 23, was rushed to hospital after suffering what appears to have been a heart attack on the pitch before 36,000 spectators on Saturday night.
He is currently in critical condition in hospital.
