Media bus hit by stone-throwing ‘vandals’

An investigation into an attack on a media bus at the Rio 2016 Olympics has concluded the vehicle was hit by stones thrown in an “act of vandalism”, the Games security chief has said. There had been fears the vehicle had been shot at but Luiz Fernando Correa said stones had hit “the metal part of the windows”, making a loud noise. Three of the 12 people on board suffered cuts from shattered glass in the incident on Tuesday evening.
