Staff at Crawley Library became suspicious when the unnamed man was seen acting strangely while browsing the business section.
The man was detained by security guards after staff saw him take Lord Sugar’s What You See Is What You Get, before covering his lap with his coat and touching himself, according to The Sun.
After being caught in the act, police held the man on suspicion of outraging public decency.
A source told the newspaper: ‘He spent about 20 minutes looking through the books in the business section before selecting Alan Sugar's autobiography.’
‘He was behaving rather oddly so we kept an eye on him and then he just sat down with his coat over his lap and started pleasuring himself as he looked through the book.’
Lord Sugar appeared to be amused by the story, using it as a chance to get at Twitter rival Piers Morgan.
The Apprentice star tweeted: ‘Mixing business with pleasure? Piers was that you?’
He went on to joke that the man had been reading ‘the bit where I called Piers a wan...’.
