A person has been arrested for vandalising the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the international break with the cost of damage running into six-figures, according to reports.
It is thought that the incident, which occurred on Monday night, is not related to anti-semitism.
Spurs have close links to the Jewish community which has reported rise in anti-semitic incidents following Hamas’ attack on Israel and subsequent breakout of war in the Middle East.
A Tottenham statement read: ‘We can confirm that an individual was arrested for criminal damage following an incident that took place on Monday night.
‘There is no indication that this incident is linked to anti-semitism.’
According to the Daily Mail, ‘significant damage’ has been caused to parts of the stadium which will cost over £100,000 to repair.
Spurs only moved into the £1.2 billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium four years ago after they relocated from White Hart Lane.
The 63,000-seater stadium has a number of purposes and is also used to host music concerts and NFL London matches among other events.
