Hours before the Euro 2024 match between Poland and the Netherlands in Hamburg, police shot a man wielding a pickaxe and a Molotov cocktail near the Reeperbahn. The suspect, who threatened officers and attempted to use the incendiary device amidst fan crowds, was subdued after initial pepper spray and warning shots failed. He was taken to the hospital with leg injuries. Authorities reported no indication of a connection to the soccer game but heightened security due to tournament-related concerns.
