LONDON – London’s Metropolitan Police say a man arrested in the death of a cyclist near the Olympic Park has been released on bail.

A double-decker bus carrying journalists at the London Olympics hit and killed the 28-year-old cyclist Wednesday night near the boundary of Olympic Park, the complex surrounding Olympic Stadium.

Police said early Thursday that a man in his mid-60s who had been arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been released on bail.
