A WOMAN has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting two men on a late-night service out of London.

The 24-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of two counts of sexual assault and four counts of common assault, British Transport Police said.

The incidents are said to have happened on a c2c service from London Fenchurch Street to Pitsea, on Tuesday night (3 December).

Stanford-le-Hope resident John Mason, 49, filmed the incident and shared footage online which has gone viral.

He says: "I was minding my own business yet this girl was upsetting everyone and at the end of the day, you have to take a stand. I suggested she get off at Barking, Purfleet and other stops.

"She smacked me in the face twice and grabbed a security guard. I've been there before and nothing happened so I walked away."

Mr Mason filmed the suspect appear to gesture angrily in front of a male passenger.

She shouts at him: "Is that what you think, you think you can decide when something in this planet matters, is that what you think?"
