BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - NOVEMBER 13: Radja Nainggolan of Belgium in action during the international friendly match between Belgium and Italy at King Baudouin Stadium on November 13, 2015 in Brussels, Belgium.
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.
