Many Fights During Weekend

Tempers rose high in the nightlife and the homely atmosphere, this weekend. The police reported on Sunday a large number of incidents across the country. Two people were wounded in a conflict in a festival tent in Wildervank, including one of the quarrelers, but also a 37-year-old man from Stadskanaal who wanted to appease the situation. In Leeuwarden, a 19-year-old boy hit several people. Why he did so, is not clear. He opposed to his arrest and went hand coughed to the hospital. A 37-year-old woman and her 16-year-old son were arrested in their homes in Helmond. They are suspected of having abused a 36-year-old woman from the neighborhood during a quarrel. A man and a woman had a fight in a bar in the center of Winschoten. The 23-year-old woman (from Scheemda) cut the man with a glass. She's now in jail. A man (46) and a woman (27) from Amersfoort abused a doorman. Upon their arrest agents used pepper spray. Also the agents reported that they were insulted. The doorman could not report yet to the police because he was suffering from the inhaled spray. In Veendam the doorman of a nightclub was threatened with death by a drunk 26-year-old man from Veendam. The man was not allowed inside. He is also arrested. A 35-year-old man from Den Bosch was also put in a cell, because he would have beaten his 27-year-old woman. The assaults and threats were already going on for a while. Six men in Hilversum got into a conflict which ended with beating and kicking each other . Four of them were arrested. The police arrested five men in Breda, who apparently start beating a passerby without any reason.
