Investigators searched his apartment where he reportedly lives with his parents and three other siblings.

Several devices were seized from the property including data storage devices, a computer and a mobile phone.

The teen is said to have been from Syria, according to Bild.

Ines Peterson, spokeswoman for the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office: “The proceedings are being conducted against a suspect on suspicion of recruiting for a terrorist organisation abroad.

“No further information is currently being provided.” 

So far only one other man, named as Beran A, has admitted to being incolved planning to run over fans outside Vienna’s Ernst-Happel Stadium before launching an attack with knives last month.

Beran, 19, had allegedly aimed to carry out an attack on Thursday or Friday, with the 15-year-old and a third 17-year-old acting as his accomplices.

During a search of Beran’s home, authorities in Austria found ­various substances and tools used for building bombs.

They also found IS propaganda, 21,000 euros in counterfeit money, machetes, knives and blank ammunition.

Following the foiled plot, Taylor and her team have put a ring of steel around the remaining shows.

Security at Wembley has been beefed up and it is expected there will be an increased police presence in the area.
