Football fans riot in Hague neighborhood; Cop assaulted, one arrest

A police officer was assaulted in a clash with rioting football fans in Schliderswijk in The Hague on Thursday evening. The police arrested one man for assaulting the cop and not following police orders, a police spokesperson said to Omroep West.

A few dozen football fans gathered at the intersection of Hoefkade and Vaillantlaan after the national football team of Turkey drew against Luxembourg in the Nations League, resulting in the Turks promoting to the second highest level of the tournament.

The football fans celebrated with loud honking. They also set a waste container and a bicycle on fire. The police responded to protect firefighters extinguishing the fire, a police spokesperson said to Omroep West.
