Two football fans have been taken to hospital with injuries after a Greenpeace activist paraglided onto a Euro 2020 pitch during a match between France and Germany.
The activist from Greenpeace had the words "Kick out oil! Greenpeace" written on his parachute.
The campaign was targeted at one of the Euro 2020 sponsors - Volkswagen - calling for them to stop selling diesel and petrol cars.
Greenpeace revealed that a ball was intended to be thrown on the pitch as the paraglider flew past the stadium, but the parachute got caught up in camera wires.
Debris fell on the pitch and into the stands in the process, and France's head coach, Didier Deschamps, was seen ducking out of the way of a large piece of equipment near the dugout.
Greenpeace at the Euros on 15:35 - Jun 16 by Badlands
Because we don't live in video game🤔 A bit of jail and a lifetime ban.
You're deluded if you think there wasn't a police officer / military person with their sights locked on to him as soon as he got within a mile of the stadium. Someone will have made the call not to shoot him. He's very, very lucky.
