Police chase down and handcuff man at GUNPOINT after he climbs onto roof of Dortmund’s stadium… raising huge security concerns following Germany’s 2-0 win over Denmark

Police were forced to intervene after the final whistle of Germany’s 2-0 win against Denmark, when a masked man climbed into the rafters of BVB Stadium Dortmund.

The fans were still in the stadium afterwards when the crowd was split up by lines of police who wanted to remove the supporter from the roof beams.

Footage captured by Mail Sport showed the man walking along a beam high above people in the stands below, many of whom shouted at him to get down.

The man, who covered his face as he made the climb, walked to the corner of the stadium roof as police tried to grab him.

Police drew their weapons as they chased him into the rafters, with the man giving in at gunpoint.

He was later handcuffed and unmasked by police, while fans were evacuated from the stadium immediately after the incident.

Mail Sport has contacted the North Rhine-Westphalia police for further comment.

Although the man’s motive is not yet known, the ease with which he was able to reach the roof of the stadium will undoubtedly raise security concerns during the European Championship.

Last week, UEFA issued a statement saying security would be tightened at host stadiums after a number of pitch storms disrupted the tournament, including six during Portugal’s 3-0 win over Turkey.

The German police were already on high alert two weeks ago in the run-up to the first match of the competition, with special vigilance against terrorism, traveling criminals and violent hooligans.

An article last month in Germany’s BILD reported that a total of 22,000 federal police officers will be deployed daily at borders, stadiums, public viewing points, airports, train stations and sensitive parts of critical infrastructure.

There is also a ban on police holidays for the duration of the tournament.

Before the incident, the stadium was filled with cheering home fans celebrating Germany’s qualification for the quarter-finals.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side had to wait for victory after the tie was suspended due to bizarre weather conditions, including thunder and lightning, and escaped a scare at 0-0 after Denmark’s potential opener was ruled out for offside.

Minutes after VAR canceled Joachim Andersen’s effort, the player was involved in a handball incident at the other end of the pitch, leading Germany to win a penalty that Kai Havertz put away, before Jamal Musiala doubled the hosts’ lead in the 68th minute .
