The incident happened on Monday night, one day after the NFL clash between Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills.
One person has been arrested in connection with the incident, while it remains to be seen if it will have any impact on Sunday’s NFL clash between the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans.
While Tottenham have strong links to the Jewish community, the club and the police insist there are no indications that the incident is motivated by the ongoing Israeli/Palestine conflict.
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.”
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police said the suspect was also charged with possession of Class B drugs.
According to the Daily Mail, Spurs have indicated that damage costs will run into six figures.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is regarded as one of the top arenas in world sport.
Opened in 2019, the stadium holds a capacity of 63,000, making it the largest club stadium in London and the second largest in England behind Manchester United’s Old Trafford.
The Stadium cost an estimated £1.2billion to build, with the ground now a stellar venue for football, boxing, American football and entertainment events.
