A protester carrying a Palestinian flag has been detained after interrupting rapper Kendrick Lamar’s half-time show at the NFL Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, the United States, Al Jazeera reports.

The man jumped onto a car that the headline act Kendrick Lamar had used during his performance at Caesars Superdome.

The New Orleans Police Department said in a statement quoted by the Associated Press that it was “working to determine applicable charges in this incident.”

The demonstrator, holding a Palestinian flag with the words “Gaza” and “Sudan” written across it, jumped from the car and ran in circles on the field after being spotted by security staff.
