Teen blasted out of Rod Laver after 'Timebomb' tweet A teenage boy is facing criminal charges after he set off a bomb scare by tweeting some of the lyrics of a Pink song at the US pop songstress's concert on Sunday night at Rod Laver Arena. The 16-year-old was thrown out of the concert and subsequently arrested by police after he tweeted a reference to Pink's song "Timebomb," off her chart-topping new album, and linked the tweet to the Rod Laver Arena official twitter account. Hold on a second ... Teen's troublesome tweet was ill thought-out, but not threatening, his father says. Photo: Michael Clayton-Jones The tweet read: @Pink I'm ready with my Bomb. Time to blow up #RodLaverArena. Bitch. The boy's father, David King, told radio station 3AW radio on Monday that security had seriously overreacted to what was an innocent - if ill thought-out - message of teenage enthusiasm. "When he wrote that, he didn't have time to put 'Timebomb', you know," he said. Mr King - who lives in Warrnambool and had to make the three-hour drive to Melbourne to collect his son - said police were prepared to be more lenient when they realised the boy was not, in fact, a terrorist. But at the arena's urging, the boy was arrested and charged with being a public nuisance. The policeman said to me, 'if it was up to me, I would have booted him in the backside and said go home'. But they demanded (he) be arrested. It is understood security at the concert were able to locate the boy in the 12,000-strong crowd by using his Twitter profile photo.
