The Berlin police have confirmed that a fan zone had to be closed due to the discovery of a suspicious object.
The Berlin police confirmed that a fan zone was evacuated after a suspicious item was found. Hours earlier, a statement was released: “A suspicious object has been discovered at the entrance of the Scheidemannstrasse #Fanzone. The area is currently not accessible to fans. We are inspecting the object.”
The Berlin police have since confirmed that the suspicious item did not pose a threat and preparations are being made to reopen the fan park in the capital city. A statement reads: “Our colleagues have now checked the object. It was a backpack, which posed no danger. The restrictions will be lifted soon.”
