A 39-year-old man has been arrested in Austria for his alleged involvement in an attempt to blackmail a German baby food manufacturer.

Police in eastern Austria say a 39-year-old suspect has been arrested after rat poison turned up in some HiPP baby food jars on supermarket shelves in central Europe.
