Police have arrested three people after two protests disrupted tennis at Wimbledon on the tournament’s third day. Two men and a woman, all wearing T-shirts with “Just Stop Oil” printed on them, have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and criminal damage after throwing orange confetti and jigsaw puzzle pieces on to a court.
The two incidents occurred about two hours apart on Wednesday. The first featured Deborah Wilde, 68, a retired teacher from London, and Simon Milner-Edwards, 66, a retired musician from Manchester, Just Stop Oil said.
It happened just after 2pm during a match between Grigor Dimitrov and Sho Shimabukuro. The second disrupted play between Briton Katie Boulter and her opponent Daria Saville, both of whom helped clear the court after an activist was escorted away.
