Two people were injured and two men were arrested after two brawls erupted in the early hours of Friday morning at an asylum reception center in the Overberg village of Utrecht.

It was quite a fight, a police spokesperson told nu.nl. Refugees are said to have ripped apart some furnishings to create makeshift weaponry, causing damage to the property.
