A man who was arrested after a Jewish memorial was vandalised has been released on bail.

The 58-year-old from Hove was arrested on Monday on suspicion of racially/religiously aggravated criminal damage after footage which appears to show a man damaging the memorial in Palmeira Square, Hove, was circulated online.

Sussex Police confirmed he has now been bailed, pending further investigation.
