CCTV images seen by The Sun showed the girl walking with a man at 2.29pm yesterday outside the famous store.
Now police have revealed a 56-year-old has been arrested.
A Met spokesperson said: “Police were called at 2.44pm on Monday, 22 April to reports of a missing child at Old Court Place, W8.
“Officers attended. At the scene a nine-year-old girl had become separated from her family.
“Fast time enquiries were conducted and an image of the child in the company of a man, taken from CCTV, was circulated to officers.
“The suspect was stopped by officers at 5.40pm. He was still in the company of the child.
“A 56-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of child kidnap. He was taken to a west London police station where he remains.
“The child and her family are being supported by specialist officers.
“At this time detectives believe this to be an isolated incident with no other persons involved.”
A Harrods spokesperson refused to comment when approached by The Sun.
