Two anti-Israel demonstrators jumped over the barriers at Tower Bridge and threw red powder over the course during the London Marathon.
The incident took place as the elite men’s runners passed through the iconic landmark during the prestigious race, before City of London Police pounced on the activists who wore t-shirts demanding a UK arms embargo.
