Rain check: Japanese woman arrested after SQUIRTING WATER at Olympic flame

Japanese police have charged a woman with attempting to extinguish the Olympic flame with a water pistol as anti-Games sentiment festers in the country, with organizers mulling new restrictions on fan attendance.
Kayoko Takahashi was captured in footage which has since spread around social media apparently attempting to put out the flame with a child's water gun toy as the torch was being run through Mito, the capital of Japan's Iberaki prefecture.

The brief clip shows the 53-year-old protestor shooting water at the torch as it made its way past her, shouting: "No Olympics" and "Stop the Games" - but Takahashi was unsuccessful in her bid to put out the flame, as the runner holding the torch passed her without any further incident.
