Authorities arrested a man in connection with a suspected antisemitic hate crime attack on diners outside a Westside sushi restaurant this week.
The man, whom police did not name, was taken into custody at a home outside Los Angeles around 10:15 p.m. Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement. A U.S. Marshals Service task force assisted in the arrest, which came after investigators received multiple tips from the public, the LAPD said.
The man was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, and investigators have requested enhanced bail because they believe the crime was motivated by hate, police said. Detectives will also recommend additional hate-crime charges, they said.
Police described the man as one of the primary suspects in the attack, which took place about 10 p.m. Tuesday night outside a sushi restaurant in the West Hollywood area by people shouting slogans against Israel.
