Police investigating a report of an assault on a woman in Shoreham have made an arrest following an appeal to identify a man they wanted to speak with in connection with the incident.
The incident happened in East Street, near the junction with New Road, at about 1.25pm on January 25. The victim, a local woman in her 50s, was left shaken by the incident, which officers are treating as an Anti-Semitic hate crime.
A 43-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of committing assault and causing racially/religious aggravated fear by provocation of violence by words. He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Officers would like to thank all those who came forward with information to assist the investigation.
