Police have arrested two teenage boys following an alleged bias incident at a football game.

Lawrence Township Police announced the arrests of two juvenile males Saturday night. According to Lawrence Mayor Christopher Bobbitt’s Facebook page, both are 17-year-old boys from Lawrence. They face charges of harassment, bias intimidation and lewdness.

Police said they had opened an investigation into a possible bias crime after social media posts alleged someone urinated on another person while using racially derogatory names at a Lawrence High School football game Friday night.

The social media posts from at least one student’s parent said a boy urinated on a black middle school girl while using the n-word. It was not clear from the arrests announced Saturday if that was exactly what had happened during the alleged incident.

Officials did not provide the boys’ names because they are minors.
