It took several members of Everton’s backroom staff to remove the man and deal with the situation, including one who carried a huge pair of bolt cutters with him to cut the man free.
As reported by the BBC, the man - who identified himself as 21-year-old Louis McKechnie - has since been arrested.
He has previously spent time in prison after being arrested while campaigning for Insulate Britain, with the Daily Mail reporting that he was one of nine protesters who faced the High Court for breaking a government injunction intended to stop people from gluing themselves to motorways and A roads in London.
Mr McKechnie was reportedly sentenced to three months in prison for his role in the protests - however, he was released after seeing half of his sentence.

Prior to the incident on the pitch, McKechnie posted a video on social media in which he explained the reasons for what he was set to do.
He said: "I'm about to disrupt a football match and I'm terrified. But I believe as many people as possible need to know what a possible future holds.
