A.S Roma Midfielder Radja Nainggolan Mistaken For A Terrorist

After the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, it’s understandable for Europe to be on high alert. Unfortunately for one soccer player, he was identified as a suspicious character in his own country.

Radja Nainggolan, a Belgian-Indonesian midfielder who plays for A.S Roma, was relaxing in an Antwerp hotel. A guest, presumably noticing the player’s blonde mohawk and tattoos, called the police about a man who was acting suspiciously.

Thankfully for Nainggolan, the officers who arrived recognized him as a soccer player. With everything said and done, a group picture is a much better outcome than an arrest.
