A man has been arrested for attacking a woman in what police are treating as an anti-Semitic hate crime.
The 43-year-old man is also being investigated for causing racially/religious aggravated fear by provocation of violence by words. He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

The victim, a local woman in her 50s, was left shaken by the incident.
