CNN —A man has been arrested after he climbed onto the roof of the BVB Stadion in Dortmund during Germany’s last-16 match against Denmark at Euro 2024, police said.
Social media clips show a man climbing in the rafters of the stadium dressed in black with his face covered.
He was arrested at 11:44 p.m. local time, police said, after complying with police requests and was found with camera equipment in his bag.
UEFA – European football’s governing body – said stadium safety and security was the “ultimate priority” for them, the German football association and tournament organizers.
“UEFA would like to commend the police, stadium and local authorities for their co-operation in the incident last night in Dortmund involving an individual arrested by the police on the stadium roof,” UEFA told CNN in a statement.
