According to BBC news:
'Earlier, a 17-year-old was arrested after trying to grab the flame as the torch relay passed through Gravesend. He sped out of the crowd towards the torchbearer and was wrestled to the ground by Torch Security Team officers.'According to the BBC's live streaming news:
'0956: We have just had an incident during Anna Skora's run - a man raced out from the crowd and tried to take the torch out of her hands. He was unsuccessful as the torch security team members were immediately on him and pushed him down to the ground and the relay continued uninterrupted.'Elsewhere in the real world, where Muslims are not automatically protected from bad publicity, we can read more:
'Teenager shouts 'Allah is great' in Arabic as he tries to grab the Olympic flame from hands of terrified torch bearer Boy runs from crowd and attempts to wrestle flame from torch bearer shouting Arabic for 'God is Great' ... A 17-year-old shouted 'Allahu Akbar' - Arabic for 'God is Great' - as he unsuccessfully tried to grab the Olympic torch during a stretch of the flame's route through Maidstone towards Redhill. Broadcast live on the BBC, the youth lunged from the crowd to try to take the torch from the hands of its bearer Anna Skora, but was swiftly bundled away by officers. In one video posted to YouTube he can be seen waiting behind a car and as Ms Skora gets closer he lunges towards the torch.'Why so short on details BBC? Was it the 'Allahu Akbar' that made you so?
