Another man, who is suspected of assisting in last month's fatal shootings in Copenhagen, was arrested, Danish police said on Friday.

The man was "suspected of complicity in the perpetrator's actions on February 14 and 15," police said in a statement.

With the latest arrest, a total of five people have been detained on suspicion of assisting in the shootings following a massive investigation.

Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, a Dane of Palestinian origin, attacked a debate event in front of a cultural center on Feb. 14 and at a synagogue on Feb. 15, leaving two people dead. The gunman himself was shot dead by police later. Endi
