A 50-year-old man has been arrested for suspected involvement in the explosions near Israel's embassy in Denmark at the beginning of October, according to the Copenhagen police for TT.

It is currently unclear what crime he is suspected of. Since the detention hearing was held behind closed doors with increased secrecy, the police cannot comment on what crime the man is suspected of or what nationality he has.

According to the Copenhagen police, the man is registered in Denmark.

Two Swedes, 16 and 19 years old, have previously been suspected of transporting five hand grenades and throwing two of them at an address in Hellerup, north of Copenhagen, where Israel's embassy is located. They are also suspected of terrorist crimes.

Prosecutor Søren Harbo has previously stated that the Swedes did not act alone.
