THE HAGUE, June 12 (Xinhua) -- Investigation is still ongoing into a 29-year-old man held in custody since Friday evening at the Philips Stadium in the Dutch city of Eindhoven, Dutch police said Monday.

The man behaved suspiciously near the entrance of the stadium where a concert of Dutch singer Guus Meeuwis was held.

He was filming there but he did not have a ticket for the concert and could not explain what he was doing there. He was arrested when police identified him as a person known to the police and registered as "potentially radicalized".

Extra police forces were sent to the area though, according to the police, there was no concrete threat.

Dutch broadcaster NOS later reported that Meeuwis played extra songs at the end of his concert at request of the police to keep the audience in the stadium a bit longer. Afterwards the visitors calmly left the stadium.

According to the organizer of the event, there is no reason to cancel upcoming performances of Meeuwis' concert series, but more security measures will be taken in and around the stadium.
