LONDON -- A British news broadcaster reported that Naomi Campbell was arrested in London on Wednesday after a woman alleged she had been assaulted by the supermodel.

Sky News reported that Campbell was being questioned by detectives at a central London police station after the assault allegation, but gave no further details.

A police spokesman refused to confirm the story, saying only that a 36-year-old woman had been detained Wednesday afternoon after an allegation of assault. The force has a policy of not naming people detained unless they have been charged with a crime, the spokesman said on condition of anonymity, in line with department policy.

Representatives for Campbell, 36, could not immediately be reached.

LONDON -- Naomi Campbell returned to a police station Thursday after allegedly being involved in an altercation the day before, police and news reports said.

Metropolitan Police had said Wednesday that officers were called to an address in central London in the afternoon and arrested a 36-year-old woman at 1:20 p.m. She was released on bail.

Police declined Thursday to say whether Campbell, 36, was involved. But in response to inquiries about her confirmed that "a 36-year-old woman" had returned to a police station Thursday morning and was released on bail until an undisclosed date in December.

The force has a policy of not naming people who have been arrested unless they are charged with a crime.

A statement from the Outside Organization, which represents Campbell, said, "We believe there has been a misunderstanding. Once police have investigated we are sure this will be resolved satisfactorily."

Campbell admitted in 2000 that she attacked her personal assistant Georgina Galanis. The model paid an undisclosed sum to Galanis and was not convicted of a crime.
