A rapper who saved a girl from being sexually assaulted has was detained by police for stepping in.
Moise Morancy, a hip hop musician and actor, said he stopped a drunk man from groping a girl on a bus in New York.
According to Mr Morancy, he hit the man and held him down until the police arrived - before he was arrested for his deed.
He wrote on Facebook: "So I’m on my way home from the studio finalizing my debut mixtape and I’m sitting at the back of the bus when this drunk guy gets on, saying all types of sexual s*** to this little girl sitting next to me.
"At first he started caressing her hand and I saw how uncomfortable it made her… so she let go and put her hands in her pocket.
"He then proceeded to forcibly do it again. In the process of doing so, he hit my knee and I told him 'Yo, bro. Don’t touch me.'"
Mr Morancy said the man started to racially abuse him and carried on touching the girl's leg.
The rapper says he then hit him in the face, knees and neck and pinned him down.
When the police arrived, they arrested both men before releasing Mr Morancy without charge.
Mr Morancy praised the police officers who let him go and told TV station Pix11 he wanted to thank a black sergeant on the scene.
He said: "I forget his name, but I want to say thank you.
"He said 'you're a hero' and shook my hand and said 'I was you 20 years ago', and that touched me."
Mr Morancy added: "I had to do what I had to do for the girl.
"And I urge other men to step in to intervene when someone's being sexually assaulted. It's disgusting."
A 36-year-old man called Pablo Levano has been charged with forcible touching.
