Man charged over 'George Floyd' social media image

A 26-year-old man has been charged over a social media image which appeared to make reference to the death of George Floyd.

Police in Fife were made aware on Tuesday and say the man "has been charged with communications offences".

The man will appear at Dundee Sheriff Court.

Officers are continuing their inquiries.

George Floyd died last week after a police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes in Minneapolis.

Prosecutors in the United States have upgraded the charges against the main officer involved to second-degree murder.

Three other officers are to face charges.
