Shocking scene! Masked man climbs roof of Dortmund stadium before being handcuffed at gunpoint
In a statement released last week, UEFA warned that increased security would be implemented at host stadiums due to several pitch invasions that have marred the tournament.
German police were already on high alert, especially concerning aggressive hooligans, travelling criminals, and terrorism.
However, the shocking incident after Germany’s win over Denmark was a man who climbed the roof of the stadium.
