A 32-year-old man has been arrested by police in Bristol in connection with threats made on Twitter.
He is suspected of offences against two women, who reported the allegations on 25 and 29 July.
His arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into abuse on the micro-blogging website.
Prominent female journalists, MP Stella Creasy, historian Mary Beard and a feminist campaigner have all recently been targeted by so-called trolls.
It is the third such arrest since allegations surfaced two weeks ago.
The man was arrested under the Protection of Harassment Act and is due to be taken to a Bristol police station, the Metropolitan Police said.
There have been calls for Twitter to do more to prevent abuse after anonymous users of the site sent messages to well-known women threatening bomb and rape attacks.
And last weekend some users boycotted the site to raise awareness of "trolling" - the practice of insulting or intimidating others, usually under a pseudonym, to get a reaction.
It attracted media and police attention after campaigner Caroline Criado Perez was targeted by trolls when she successfully lobbied for a woman's face to be pictured on UK bank notes.
Twitter have drafted in extra staff to deal with the levels of abuse and have moved to clarify their reporting procedures.
