BERLIN (AP) — Police say a synagogue in the western German city of Wuppertal was attacked with petrol bombs overnight, but nobody was injured.

Police spokesman Alexander Kresta said the synagogue was attacked early Tuesday with several incendiary devices, but first investigations showed no damage was done to the building.

Kresta said an 18-year-old male suspect, whose citizenship could not immediately be clarified, was arrested. He said investigations were continuing and police were looking for two more suspects.
