There was an unbelievable situation in which a safety guard assaulted a fan in a match between Portugal and Slovenia.

Portugal won the penalty shootout 3-0 against Slovenia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 at Frankfurt Arena in Frankfurt, Germany, on the 2nd (Korea time). Portugal are struggling to reach the quarterfinals and face France.

A shocking thing happened at a stadium that could be a site of history. The Daily Mail released a video showing a fan being punched and kicked by safety personnel on the 3rd. The video shows a fan falling to the ground after being hit on the head several times while being held to the wall by security personnel, the report said.



The video, which was first released through the Portuguese media Hekord, was shocking. It is not known why the fan is being suppressed by safety personnel, but the safety personnel in the video punched the fan in the face.

For example, if an attacker disguised as a fan was carrying a weapon such as a firearm or knife, he may inevitably use violence to prepare for a possible danger. However, in the video, the fan was already held by other security personnel and did not appear to be carrying a weapon. There were no objects that fell around.



Next to him, another fan was being stopped for doing something. The security guard over there kept the pan lying face down on the floor and was just pressing it down. The way they restrained themselves was completely different. The face assault did not end the situation. When the fan, who was being assaulted, fell, another safety guard next to him continued to do unbelievable acts, such as hitting him in the face and kicking him.

The Daily Mail said 'Other fans can be heard shouting loudly throughout the video. 'This is presumably an attempt to stop security personnel from attacking supporters,' it added. If you were not a fan trying to commit a crime for any reason, there is no authority or obligation for safety personnel to use assault. Even if you were a criminal, it seems like excessive suppression to attempt that level of assault after arrest.



Meanwhile, the safety of players is often threatened by the invasion of the stadium at this Euro tournament. So far, there have been no intruders threatening the players, but the coaches and players are asking them to stop speaking out. Everyone knows that safety personnel are working hard to secure the security of the stadium, but such unconventional behavior is difficult to tolerate.
