Three men arrested after explosions near embassy
The police have arrested three young men in connection with the explosions near the Israeli embassy in Hellerup on Wednesday night.
Two of the young men were arrested on a train at Copenhagen Central Station. During the arrest operation, several platforms were cleared of passengers, and trains were not stopping at them.
The arrested individuals were taken away wearing DNA suits.
Additionally, earlier in the day, the police had arrested a young man elsewhere in Copenhagen.
The arrested individuals are between 15 and 20 years old and are from Sweden.
The explosions, which occurred approximately 100 meters from the Israeli embassy, were likely caused by two hand grenades, according to the police.
