Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>German police shot and wounded an axe-wielding man ahead of a EURO 2024 match in Hamburg, authorities said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The suspect attempted to attack several fans and officers at Hamburg\u2019s popular Reeperbahn district, several hours before the game between Poland and the Netherlands, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrent findings indicate that a man came out of a bar, he obviously had a pickaxe, and also a Molotov cocktail. He then ran towards several passers-by, including police officers,\u201d police spokeswoman Sandra Levgrun told local media.<\/p>\n

She said the police officers at the scene had to use their guns to stop the attacker. The suspect was hospitalized with gunshot wounds to his leg, according to local media reports.<\/p>\n

In a statement released several hours after the incident, Hamburg police said the suspect was identified as a 39-year-old German who apparently have had some mental issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is currently no indication of his motivation. However, there is no evidence that there is any connection to UEFA EURO 2024 championship,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred several hundred meters away from a public viewing fan zone, where thousands of soccer fans were gathering to watch the football match.<\/p>\n
