Naomi Campbell Bailed After Heathrow Arrest
Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been released on bail after being arrested at Heathrow's Terminal 5 on Thursday evening.
The 37-year-old was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, but was released on bail pending further inquiries.
It is understood that the model was arrested following a dispute over luggage.
Ms Campbell's spokesperson, Annabel Fox, said that she had checked in two bags, but was then told that one of them was missing.
Ms Fox said: "Naomi was flying to Los Angeles for a memorial service on Thursday.
She arrived at Heathrow Terminal 5 in plenty of time, checked her two bags in and was told they would make the flight.
"Once on the plane she was told one bag could not be found and was missing.
"BA decided to resolve this by insisting she leave the flight and then called the police to forcible eject her from the flight."
Ms Fox confirmed that Ms Campbell had been taken to Heathrow police station and later released on police bail.
She added: "So far as we are aware, BA have still failed to offer any explanation as to why her bag went missing at Terminal 5."
Naomi Campbell was born in Streatham, London, and was discovered at the age of 15. She was the first black model to appear on the cover of the British, French and Japanese Vogue magazines and Time magazine.
