The incident comes hours before the German city staging a Euro 2024 match between Netherlands and Poland.
The German police have fired shots at a person who allegedly threatened officers with a pickaxe and an incendiary device on the sidelines of a Euro 2024 football fan parade in central Hamburg, according to a police post on social media platform X.
A major police operation was under way and the suspect was receiving medical care for injuries, the post on Sunday added.
