A taxi driver in India has been arrested for allegedly molesting a tourist.

A motorcycle taxi driver was taken into custody in the western Indian state of Goa in connection with the incident, which is reported to have involved an American holidaymaker.

Isidore Fernandes was detained after the woman posted his picture on social media. She claims he asked her for a kiss and when she refused, he tried forcing her hands underneath his clothes.

She asked people to share the post so Fernandes could not "endanger another woman's safety".
