The streaker who stormed the field at the Super Bowl has been identified after interrupting the big game at the Levi's Stadium.
The 60th edition of the Super Bowl took place in Santa Clara, California and saw the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots 29-13.
Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny performed in the most-viewed half-time show in history, becoming the first male solo Latin and Spanish-speaking singer to headline the NFL spectacle.
But in the fourth quarter, there was an uninvited guest on the field. The individual, who was shirtless, made his way onto the turf from the south end zone and sprinted towards the opposite end of the pitch.

While the majority of players stood and watched as security chased, Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams was having none of it and swiftly took him down.
Stewards were then on the scene to keep the streaker down on the deck and take him away so the game could resume.
Footage of the incident went viral on social media even with NBC deciding against showing it on their live broadcast.
The man was therefore able to advertise on one of the biggest platforms possible, with messages inked on his front and back. He had 'Trade in the blind spot' on his torso and Trade with Athena' written on his back, along with a social media username.
The individual appeared to be promoting trading and according to The Express, this was not his first Super Bowl streaker.
The outlet reports that he is called Alex Gonzalez, who previously made his way onto the field at Super Bowl LVIII between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
He and accomplice Sebastian Riviera were charged with prohibited conduct at a sporting event and will likely be guilty of the same offence three years on.
However, he had no regrets over the incident and hinted that he would repeat his actions again in the future.
"Literally just paid $42,000 to go to jail," Gonzalez wrote on social media.
"One of my goals has always been to streak the Super Bowl. And I don't want to be that guy, that I'm rich and I'm 50 years old and I'm like, 'Damn, I wish I would've done that when I was younger.' No. I did it now and I'll do it again."
According to reports, Gonzalez began working at Dunkin Donuts and after getting into trading, later became a millionaire and now lives a life of luxury.
