Hamburg police have fired shots at an axe-wielding man in an area packed with thousands of Euro 2024 fans on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Police said officers were being threatened by the man, who was also carrying a firebomb.<\/p>\n

The man was injured and is currently receiving medical treatment, according to a post on X.<\/p>\n

There is currently a major police operation in the popular St Pauli district of central Hamburg, which is one of the two nightlife hubs in the northern German city.<\/p>\n

According to media reports the attack took place at about 12.30pm local time on the Reeperbahn, a main street in St Pauli.<\/p>\n

It comes as Poland is set to take on the Netherlands in a Euro 2024 match at the Volksparkstadion at 2pm BST.<\/p>\n

German authorities have put police on high alert during the tournament, which began on Friday and runs until 14 July, for fear of possible fan violence and terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

On Friday, police shot an Afghan man dead after he fatally attacked a compatriot and later injured three people watching the televised game between Germany and Scotland in a town in eastern Germany.<\/p>\n

Police said on Sunday that the motive for that attack is still unclear.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
