COVENTRY, UK (CBS) -- Two children breached the security cordon and tried to snatch the Olympic flame from a torchbearer in Coventry on Monday (July 2).

It happened early Monday morning as a group of five National Health Service workers were running in tandem through the city.

Two boys dressed in black managed to avoid security and attempted to grab the torch, before they were ushered away by police.
