A man has been arrested on suspicion of racially or religiously aggravated criminal damage after a mosque was vandalised.
Several windows at Taunton Central Mosque, in Tower Lane, were smashed on Saturday at about 06:40 BST in what Avon and Somerset Police has described as a "hate crime".
The force released images on Thursday of two men they wanted to speak to in connection with the incident. A 34-year-old man handed himself in at a police station earlier, it added.
Officers still want to speak to the second man pictured in the appeal.
Anyone with relevant CCTV footage, doorbell or dashcam footage is asked to contact the police.
