 "Streaker tries to disrupt Olympic torch relay")
London:: Police arrested a naked man who streaked past crowds just before former Olympian Steve Redgrave was to handle the Olympic torch. Thames Valley Police say they arrested the 27-year-old man on suspicion of outraging public decency. The incident took place Tuesday in Henley, some 35 miles (55 kilometers) to the west of London.

Police have warned spectators to stay away from the flame as it travels across Britain and Ireland, and incidents of people interfering with its journey have been rare so far. AP
