ROTTERDAM - Dutch police fired warning shots, injuring at least two people, after rioters against a partial COVID lockdown torched a police car and hurled stones in Rotterdam on Friday.
The Netherlands went back into Western Europe's first partial lockdown of the winter last Saturday with at least three weeks of curbs on restaurants, shops, and sports. "There are injuries related to the fired shots," they added. They did not give a number but public broadcaster NOS said two people were hurt.
Police also cordoned off several scenes to comb for evidence, with a human finger visible on the ground at one of them, the AFP correspondent said. "This is a very serious situation which requires action with the highest priority," said the emergency order by the Rotterdam municipality.
