A man has been arrested after women were filmed on nights out without their knowledge and the videos were shared on social media.
A BBC North West investigation revealed such films had gained millions of views and attracted misogynistic comments, which led to a police inquiry.
The videos on TikTok, Youtube and Instagram, often titled Manchester nightlife or Liverpool nightlife were uploaded daily.
A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of stalking and harassment in Bradford earlier and is being questioned in police custody.
Meg told the BBC she was filmed while walking along Deansgate in Manchester with two other women.
The 23-year-old said she had not realised she had been filmed until she was sent a link to one of the videos.
She said: “I have no words really other than it just made me feel a bit sick.”
