THIS is the shocking moment protesters stormed the men’s elite race at the London Marathon. Two Youth Demand activists ran onto Tower Bridge and hurled bright pink powder across runners this morning.
Shocking footage showed the moment an official riding a motorbike leapt off and tackled them to the ground.
Multiple Metropolitan Police officers intervened to restrain the duo, who were wearing shirts with the words “Stop Arming Israel”.
Police confirmed that the paint appears to be chalk-based and would likely not harm any of the runners. The protesters were swiftly arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance and remain in custody.
