A fan attending England’s 1-0 win over Croatia in the European Championship at Wembley on Saturday has been seriously injured after falling from a stand.
The individual fell at around the time of kick off – 15:00 CEST – with him falling towards the seats below.
“We can confirm that a spectator fell from the stands just after kick off in the match between England and Croatia at Wembley Stadium,” said a spokesperson for the stadium on Saturday afternoon, as reported by the Daily Mail.
“The spectator was given on-site medical attention and was then taken to hospital in a serious condition.
We will continue to work with UEFA to ensure the matter is fully investigated and we are continuing to monitor the situation.”
One fan who witness the incident spoke to the Evening Standard, saying “we saw his legs go over the barrier and then he fell and hit the ground and didn’t move”.
