The European Broadcasting Union released a statement tonight saying the man was now in police custody. SuRie was offered a chance to perform again but declined with her team saying they were proud of her performance.
Just to confirm SuRie is ok. More news when we get it. #Eurovision

Folks, this is the latest on the SuRie situation. “SuRie was offered the option to perform again by the EBU. SuRie and her team are extremely proud of her performance and have together decided that there is absolutely no reason to perform the song again.”
