Police have now confirmed one man was caught with notes translating to phrases like "beautiful breasts", "I want to have sex with you" and "I’ll kill you".

The city centre descended into chaos on the last day of 2015 when around 1,000 men of ‘Arab or North African’ origin reportedly attacked women and young girls.

The detained pair are understood to have been in custody overnight and notes in Arabic and German were found on their possession.

Neither has been named and their nationality has not been given.
