Sinterklaas caught peeing against Amsterdam building

Someone snapped a photo of Sinterklaas peeing against a building in Amsterdam. The photo was sent to community police officer Frank Westerop, who posted it on Twitter on Tuesday.

"Is this what is meant by 'and sprinkle some sweets... in one corner or another'?" the officer jokingly tweeted. He also wondered about whether or not to fine the Sint. "Because I also want something in my shoe later on!"

A spokesperson for the Amsterdam police confirmed to AD that Westerop did not snap the picture himself, but got it from someone else. So it seems unlikely that Sinterklaas received a fine for not being able to hold it until he passed a bathroom.
