130 cyclists arrested for breaking Olympic cordon

None

Police protecting the Olympic Park on opening night said Saturday they arrested more than 130 activists on bicyclists involved in an hours-long effort to breach the park's security cordon.

 

Police said they were aware that a monthly protest by cyclists was planned for Friday but ordered the protesters to remain south of the River Thames, to keep them from blocking more than 80,000 ticket-holding guests from attending the Olympics opening ceremony. (AP)
