People Hurt by Parachuting Protester at Euro 2020 Game

MUNICH, GERMANY - Several spectators were treated in the hospital for injuries caused by a protester who parachuted into the stadium before France played Germany at the European Championship, UEFA said Tuesday.

Debris fell on the field and main grandstand, narrowly missing France coach Didier Deschamps, when the parachutist struck wires for an overhead camera attached to the stadium roof. The governing body of European soccer called it a "reckless and dangerous" act and said "law authorities will take the necessary action." "This inconsiderate act ... caused injuries to several people attending the game who are now in hospital," UEFA said.
