At the time of the fight, a passerby was able to call the police. A few teams were just nearby and were able to intervene quickly and separate the 2 large groups of young people. The camera images show that there are 2 groups of native Dutch and immigrant young people. In total, about 30 people are involved, both minors and adults.
