They say it "is not being treated as terrorism-related", how bad have things got if the terrorists have to rely on a bow and arrow to do their thing. :roll:

When the guy said "is it a meteor" i nearly spat my brew out.

A County Championship game was abandoned after an arrow fired from outside the ground landed on the field.

Spectators watching Surrey's match with Middlesex were asked to take cover and the players taken off after the crossbow bolt was shot into The Oval.

Armed police carried out a "controlled evacuation" of the ground after the incident was reported at 16:35 BST.

A Met Police statement said the incident "is not being treated as terrorism-related".

No-one was injured, while the force added that there have been no arrests and enquiries continue.

The game ended in a draw, with John Simpson's unbeaten 88 helping Middlesex into a lead of 181 runs with three wickets in hand when the players were taken off the pitch.

So the first thing they did was pull it out of the ground. Did it not occur to anyone that stuck in the ground it was pointing back exactly in the direction it came from and the cops could easily have found where it was fired from? Idiots.
