Police fire warning shots, injuring an unknown number of people, as night riots wrack downtown Rotterdam in protest of new health measures
Police have fired warning shots and injured an unknown number of people in Rotterdam after the protests against coronavirus measures turned violent.
Police said in a tweet that “there are injuries in connection with the shots” during the violent unrest. Riot police used a water cannon in an attempt to drive hundreds of rioters from a central street in the port city. Photos in Dutch media showed at least one police car ablaze and another with a bicycle smashed through the windshield.“The center of our beautiful city has this evening transformed into a war zone,” it said. “Rotterdam is a city where you can disagree with things that happen but violence is never, never, the solution.”The people will decide.
