Major fight in the center of Amsterdam, suspects turn against the police

Last night, officers and enforcers arrested about five people on and around the Damrak in the center after a major fight.

At around 9.30 pm, a group of about ten people clashed on Oudebrugsteeg. The police received a report about this and officers attended.

About half of the group ran off. Others turned against the officers. According to a police spokesman, some of the men are suspected of ‘reconciliation’, meaning someone ‘forcibly opposes a public servant who is acting in the lawful performance of his duties’.

The suspects were still in custody this morning. They have yet to be interrogated.
