A man has been arrested after a bottle was thrown on to the track at the start of the men's 100m final at the Olympic Stadium, the Metropolitan Police said.

A police spokesman said a man had been heard shouting abuse and was then seen throwing a bottle immediately before the race, won by Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt.

Fellow Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake, who claimed silver, said: "I was so focused I didn't see anything. I was so focused on just running to the line."

Edith Bosch, Holland's world judo champion, claimed on Twitter that she had "beaten" the person who had thrown the bottle.

She said: "A drunken spectator threw a bottle onto the track! I HAVE BEATEN HIM .... unbelievable."

Nobody was injured during the incident and the event was not disrupted, police said.

The suspect is being held in police custody at an east London police station on suspicion of causing a public nuisance.
