Police have arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with violent abuse on Twitter directed at a female MP and a campaigner.
The suspect was held in Bristol following allegations made by Labour MP Stella Creasy and campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez.
He will be questioned at a local police station on suspicion of committing an offence under the Protection from Harassment Act.
Ms Criado-Perez received threats online after campaigning to have Jane Austen as the face on the £10 bank note.
Ms Creasy became a target after expressing her support, and has since been leading a "Take Back Twitter" campaign.
A number of female journalists later came forward to report a series of rape and bomb threats.
The suspect is the third person arrested over the aggressive stream of messages.
The arrest came as Scotland Yard's e-crime unit examined allegations of abuse made by eight people on the site.
The episode has prompted calls for Twitter to beef up its security procedures.
More than 120,000 people have signed a petition urging Twitter to implement tighter processes to protect its users.
The site has moved to clarify its rules on abusive behaviour and drafted in extra staff to handle attacks by trolls.
It has said it plans to make reporting abuse easier by bringing a "report abuse" function already available on the iPhone app version of the micro-blogging site to other phones and platforms.
