Excitement at EM hit
Excitement at European Championship match: masked man on stadium roof
Excitement shortly before the restart of the European Championship match between Germany and Denmark: a masked man on the roof of the stadium led to the deployment of special forces and a delayed start to the second half. Now there are new details about what was in his rucksack.
A man dressed in black with a rucksack had gained access to the stadium roof in Dortmund and caused a commotion. A German task force surrounded the man - according to the police, he was a 21-year-old from Osnabrück - and arrested him shortly afterwards.
During the TV broadcast, referee Michael Oliver could be seen talking to the captains Ilkay Gündogan and Kasper Schmeichel after the half-time break and pointing upwards. It was not yet clear to the TV viewers what had caused the short delay.
Man wanted to take photos
"According to initial findings, the 21-year-old wanted to take photos on the roof of the stadium, as he had already done in other places in Germany," police said on Sunday. "He was carrying camera equipment in a rucksack for this purpose. At no time was there any danger to other people in the stadium."
The police stated that the man had "already wanted to take photos at great heights on prominent buildings in Herne in April 2022 and in Ulm in May 2024". During questioning by the criminal investigation department that night, the man from Osnabrück stated "that he only wanted to take 'good photos'". The police pointed out that the European Football Union (UEFA) deploys its own personnel for security around and in the stadiums. The police are currently unable to say how the man got into the stadium.
