(JEWISH GROUP) Man arrested over 'target Jewish businesses' post
A man has been arrested after a social media post called for Jewish businesses to be "targeted with stink bombs".
The post, which was reportedly a comment on the Brighton and Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign Facebook page, also suggested throwing "ripe fruit and eggs" at synagogues.
Sussex Police said officers attended an address in Newhaven on Sunday afternoon after receiving reports of threatening comments posted on social media.
The man was arrested on suspicion of four offences.
These included sending offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing messages, using threatening words to stir up religious hatred, making threats to damage or destroy property and possessing a class B drug.
