A major police operation is now underway and the attacker is currently receiving medical care for injuries.
FRANKFURT - German police shot at a man who threatened officers with a sledgehammer and an incendiary device on the sidelines of a Euro 2024 soccer fan parade in central Hamburg on June 16, police said.
“He apparently tried to set fire to this Molotov cocktail and then approached several people including police officers, and the police officers then had to make use of their firearms,” said Hamburg police spokesperson Sandra Levgruen. There was no evidence that the man had any connection to the football tournament, Levgruen said, while the motive for his attack was not clear.
