London (CNN) A teenage boy is to be charged with assault after a video emerged of a Syrian refugee being attacked in the grounds of a UK school.

In the video, the 15-year-old Syrian boy is taunted, grabbed by the throat and pushed to the ground, as other students look on.

It was not clear who shot the video of the incident, which occurred last month at a school in Huddersfield, northern England.

The video prompted widespread condemnation, and an online fundraising effort had reached £75,000 (about $95,000) by Wednesday afternoon, a day after being launched.

West Yorkshire police said Wednesday that a 16-year-old youth had been interviewed and reported for summons for assault, and that he would appear at a juvenile court in due course.
