Danish police on Friday said they had arrested another man, who is suspected of assisting in last month's fatal shootings in Denmark's capital Copenhagen.

The man was "suspected of complicity in the perpetrator's actions on February 14 and 15", Xinhua news agency cited police as saying in a statement.

With the latest arrest following a massive investigation, a total of five people have been detained on suspicion of assisting in the shootings.

Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, a Dane of Palestinian origin, attacked a debate event in front of a cultural centre on February 14 and at a synagogue on February 15, leaving two people dead. The gunman himself was shot dead by police later.
