Police hunting for missing schoolgirl Alice Gross, 14, have arrested a man on suspicion of murder, Scotland Yard say.
The 25-year-old suspect was arrested in the Ealing area at around 5pm on Saturday, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.
He is currently in custody at a west London police station.
Alice disappeared from her home in Hanwell, west London, on Thursday 28, August. She left her home at around 1pm and was captured on CCTV an hour later on the Grand Union Canal towpath near Brentford Lock, walking towards the River Thames. She was later filmed again at 3.45pm along the towpath heading back to her home. The footage showed her wearing dark blue jeans, a dark green lacy cardigan and denim blue Vans shoes. She may also have had tartan-framed glasses.
A large social media campaign has been under way since the teenager went missing and hundreds of posters have been distributed around the area.
