BBC: French police say a man suspected of attacking three young Jews with a hammer in the town of Villeurbanne has been detained, local media report.
Several assailants are reported to have taken part in Saturday's attack, in which iron bars were also used.
The suspect, the fifth to be detained, reportedly gave himself up to police on Thursday afternoon.
A spate of anti-Semitic incidents has followed the murder of four people at a Jewish school in Toulouse in March.
The attack in Villeurbanne took place as the three youths, all wearing Jewish skullcaps, were leaving a Jewish school.
A small group attacked them, reportedly insulting and jostling them, before as many as a dozen other joined in, striking the youths with weapons.
One of them suffered a hammer blow to the head, another was struck with an iron bar, while the third was hit on the arm. » | Thursday, June 07, 2012
