German police shot and wounded a 39-year-old man armed with a pickaxe and carrying an incendiary device near the Euro 2024 fan zone in Hamburg.

The man, who has a history of mental health issues, threatened officers before being shot in the leg.

The incident took place near the city's official fan zone for Euro 2024 matches, where Dutch and Polish fans had gathered.

Authorities have ruled out any football-related motivations for the incident.

Security remains tight at Euro 2024 events due to concerns about hooliganism and terrorism, with police investigating potential ISIS involvement.

Despite the incident, the fan march continued without major disruptions.

Police believe the man acted alone and that the fan zone was adequately protected.

The man received medical treatment and is expected to be taken into custody.

An investigation is ongoing into the use of force by officers to prevent harm to others.
