Storm, teacup. Just a kid taking it all very seriously and making an insensitive comment that he then apologised for. Hardly a police matter.
A teenager has been arrested by police investigating abuse of Team GB diver Tom Daley on Twitter.
After coming fourth in the men's synchronised 10m platform diving event on Monday, the 18-year-old received a message telling him he had let down his father.
Daley's father Rob died in May 2011 from brain cancer.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested at a guest house in the Weymouth area on suspicion of malicious communications.
Daley responded to the tweet by posting: "After giving it my all...you get idiot's sending me this..."
The user later posted a tweet apologising for the comment before the Twitter account was suspended.
He said: "I'm sorry mate i just wanted you to win cause its the olympics I'm just annoyed we didn't win I'm sorry tom accept my apology."
