ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Authorities in Florida have arrested a man in connection with a possible sexual assault last week outside Walt Disney World's restaurant and entertainment complex.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that 26-year-old Hector M. Herrera was arrested at his home Thursday on a warrant in "the sexual battery incident." The statement said no further information would be released immediately.

Earlier this week, police said they were investigating a possible sexual assault after a security guard found a woman naked and disoriented a week ago Thursday in shrubbery outside Disney Springs, which used to be known as Downtown Disney. The woman said she had no recollection of what happened, and that if any sexual activity took place, it wasn't consensual.

It was not clear if Herrera had an attorney.
