Spectators injured due to parachuting protestor at Euro 2020 match

Spectators injured due to parachuting protestor at Euro 2020 match
International

After a protestor parachuted into the stadium before the Germany versus France match, several spectators had to be treated in hospital due to falling debris. The protestor hit wires for an overhead camera attached to the stadium roof, barely missing France’s coach Didier Descahmps. The authorities will be taking necessary action as the governing body of European soccer called the act reckless and dangerous.

The parachutist, with the parachute itself carrying the slogans ‘KICK OUT OIL’ and ‘Greenpeace’, landed on the field with German players Antonio Rudiger and Robin Gosens approaching him before being led away by security. The parachutist lost control upon impact with the wires, veering away from playing area and barely clearing the spectator’s heads.
