British Transport Police launched an investigation after she tweeted a picture of her alleged attacker, the DailyMail reports.

She said he "pushed his penis" against her on the late night train from London Bridge to Elmstead Woods, south east London, earlier this month.

Police revealed today a 46-year-old man was arrested and questioned on suspicion of sexual assault. He was later released but remains under investigation.

Natasha, originally from Liverpool, revealed on Twitter she felt "violated" after a man "rubbed his manhood against her on a train."

She wrote: "This vile excuse of a man just had his penis pushed up against me while on this overground train from London Bridge heading to Elmstead Woods.

"I thought it was a bag until I felt him heavy breathing down my neck. I am appalled and calling the transport police when I get off."

She later told her 162,000 followers: "Honestly I am shaking and feel so violated now. But more than anything I am so angry. This has to stop happening to people."
