A media bus at the Olympic Games was attacked by stone-throwing vandals, the Rio 2016 security chief said on Wednesday (August 10), but an eyewitness insisted it was ‘clearly bullets’.

Security director Luiz Fernando Correa said ‘Stones were thrown and hit the metal part of the windows of the bus’ and promised to beef up security patrols, calling it an act of vandalism by teenagers.

Three people suffered minor injuries as windows were hit by projectiles when the bus passed Rio's Curicica district, neighboring the notorious City of God favela, late on Tuesday (August 9).
