About 20 windows were smashed in the attack on the historic Lion Hotel on Thursday afternoon.

The Grade One listed building is being used to house asylum seekers.

A spokesperson from West Mercia police said: "A 33-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage."

In December the hotel and surrounding properties were evacuated when a malicious bomb threat was made. A huge police operation took place to make sure that the threat was not genuine.
