After a months-long manhunt, police in Argentina have apprehended the last member of a gang who assaulted Chief Rabbi Gabriel Davidovich in his home on Feb. 25 and brutally beat him, causing him to suffer nine broken bones.

The man is the sixth member of the gang to be arrested after police captured the other five in March and April of this year.

The suspect, 53, is believed to have driven the gang members to Davidovich's home at the time of the attack. The Jewish umbrella organization AMIA reported that they broke into the house and tied up Davidovich and his wife, and then proceeded to beat the rabbi "savagely."

At the time of his arrest, the suspect was in possession of two handguns, as well as a forged police ID.

Davidovich, who suffered a punctured lung in the attack as well as multiple broken bones, spent several weeks recuperating from the attack before resuming his duties.
