A 35-year-old man has been arrested after a crossbow bolt was fired on to the pitch at the Kia Oval.
Play was abandoned and fans were evacuated during the County Championship match between Surrey and Middlesex on Thursday after an arrow landed near the middle of the ground.
The Metropolitan Police said on Saturday they have arrested a man on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm in relation to the incident.
He has been released on bail to a date in late September.
Detectives from Lambeth continue to appeal for anyone with footage of the moments up to and including the loose of a crossbow bolt at the Oval to come forward.
Lambeth CID Detective Constable Dominic Landragin said: “There were significant crowds watching the match and it is likely that a number of those present will have footage of the incident that could assist in our investigation.
“Although nobody was injured, this was a reckless action taken with no regard for the safety and well-being of the spectators or the players. It is important that we trace those responsible and I urge anyone who has footage of the incident to get in touch as soon as possible.”
