Video: London 2012 Olympics: boy knocked from bike by torch security The boy, who was dressed in sports clothers and was riding a small BMX-type bike, cycled alongside the crowd and appeared to veer into the 'security bubble' around the flame before he was tackled by a male officer. Although there was no disruption to the relay, we'd like to remind people not to enter the security bubble, this is for their own safety as well as the torchbearer's. The Torch Relay is a moving convoy including vehicles. The torch security team is made up of 70 unarmed officers, including 35 'runners' who may jog up to 20 miles a day alongside the torchbearers. Officers take it in turns to sleep with the mother flame in a lantern in his or her room overnight. This is not the first mishap to happen during the relay. Two boys in Coventry managed to momentarily snatch the flame from a torchbearer before they were ushered away by police, while in Leeds an Italian restaurant owner, Gilda Porcelli, was pushed aside as she attempted to touch the torch. She hoped to bring luck to the Italian football team during the Euro 2012 semi finals.
