A man with false accreditation was able to get within several yards of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden before being arrested at the Olympics' opening ceremony, said an AP report.

 

The report said that a man was stopped when he got about 12 rows from where Biden was sitting in a specially protected VIP section in BC Place Stadium.

 

 

The unarmed man was escorted into a hallway, tried to flee, and then was apprehended again, said Taplin, who added Biden was not in danger at any time.

 

 

An investigation was under way to determine how the man got inside.
