| [Times of Israel] British police this week arrested a 26-year-old man suspected of shooting a teenage Jewish boy in the head with an air rifle in the city of Bournemouth, in an apparent antisemitic attack, according to reports in UK media. The attack, which took place in the East Cliff neighborhood of the coastal city, took place on August 23, outside a synagogue in the area. According to The Telegraph, the victim was shot by a man in a passing car, who shouted obscenities at the teen before firing his weapon. The teen suffered minor injuries. Days later, police arrested a man from Ferndown, Dorset, in connection with the shooting, and said they were treating the incident as a hate crime. According to the report, the man is suspected of assault and possession of an imitation firearm in a public place, and has since been released on bail. Rabbi Alan Lewis of the Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation told The Telegraph that the teen who was shot is a "religious Jew who was wearing a skull cap," and that it was "very obvious he was Jewish." Dorset Police Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Jenkins said that the police "have been carrying out extensive inquiries as part of our investigation and have now made an arrest in connection with the incident," adding that she was asking anyone with information about the incident to come forward. "We understand the concern that this incident has caused to members of the community and we are continuing to liaise with them to provide updates and reassurance. We are also continuing to support and update the victims with the progress of the investigation," she said.
