A Swiss man wanted in his country for sexually molesting children was arrested in Haiti late Tuesday, local police said.

"An international warrant had been issued for this Swiss citizen ... who had lived in Haiti for numerous years," a police official said.

Haitian police did not identify the man, who was arrested in a liquor store not far from Port-au-Prince by a team accompanied by a Swiss police agent.

The man was being held by Haitian authorities and was expected to be turned over to Swiss officials for repatriation to Switzerland, a Haitian officer said, adding that he was not sure if the two countries had an extradition treaty.
