The teenager identified as racially abusing Latrell Mitchell during an NRL game has escaped criminal charges, instead receiving a formal warning from NSW Police.

The 14-year-old male allegedly directed a racist comment towards Mitchell as the players left the field at halftime of South Sydney's 16-10 loss to Penrith at BlueBet Stadium last Thursday.

The incident sparked calls for the NRL to ban the spectator for life, with Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou vowing the Rabbitohs would file a police report on the matter.

On Thursday, NSW Police confirmed they had finalised their investigation.

"Following inquiries by officers attached to Nepean Police Area Command, a 14-year-old boy has been spoken to and issued a warning under the Young Offenders Act," NSW Police said in a statement to AAP.
