Danish police say they have arrested a third man suspected of assisting a gunman who killed two people in attacks in Copenhagen.

Police said the “young man” would face a custody hearing on Saturday but declined to comment further on the arrest on Friday. The suspect was not named.

A Copenhagen court on Thursday gave another four weeks in custody to two other men accused of helping Omar el-Hussein, who used an assault rifle to kill a Danish filmmaker attending a free speech event on 14 February in Copenhagen.

The following day, Hussein killed a Jewish security guard outside a synagogue with a handgun. Five police officers also were wounded. Hussein was killed in a police shootout later that day.
