A clash broke out outside Amsterdam Central Station as fans of Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team left a stadium following a match against Dutch side Ajax.
Israel said Friday it was sending planes to evacuate nationals out of the Dutch capital Amsterdam after authorities in both countries condemned what they said was violence targeting Israeli soccer fans. Amsterdam police said early Friday that at least five people had been injured and at least 62 people arrested, with videos circulating on social media and geolocated by NBC News showing violence in the city’s streets.
” Video shared on social media that was geolocated by NBC News to near Amsterdam’s central station appeared to show people chasing others and physically assaulting them. The Dutch police said they were also aware of “reports regarding a possible hostage situation and missing persons, but currently have no confirmation that this actually took place.” Authorities did not provide further information on the latter incident, but said they were investigating the matter.
