Olympics: Man held after bottle thrown on to 100m track
A man has been arrested after a bottle was thrown on to the track seconds before the start of the men's 100m final at the Olympic Stadium.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said a man had been heard shouting abuse and was then seen throwing a bottle. It landed behind the sprinters.
US sprinter Justin Gatlin, who won bronze, said the bottle had been a "little distraction".
Nobody was injured and the event was not disrupted, police said.
