Mr Moberg drew a picture and set up an appeal to help find the woman he saw on the New York subway

A brief encounter in a New York subway train prompted a romantically inclined man to set up his own internet site just to find the woman he saw.

Patrick Moberg, 21, said it was - for him at least - love at first sight when he exchanged glances with a rosy-cheeked young woman while taking the train from Manhattan to Brooklyn on Sunday. But just as he had plucked up the courage to talk to her, the train stopped and he lost her in the crowd. Undeterred, Mr Moberg, a web designer, set up a new site - - which was dedicated to finding her.He drew a picture of the girl, who was wearing blue shorts, blue tights, and a red flower in her hair. He added his mobile phone number, email address and an appeal for help in finding her.

Amazingly, in a city of eight million people, it worked. Within hours, Mr Moberg's inbox had been inundated with emails and his phone was ringing continually.Some of the emails came from women who admitted they were not the girl, but asked him to pick them instead.On Tuesday night, a friend of the woman contacted him and sent him a picture so he could confirm her identity. Mr Moberg announced the breakthrough on his website with a notice entitled: "Found Her! Seriously!"

The mysterious subway brunette was later named as Camille Hayton, a 22-year-old Australian magazine intern.
