The Mobile Police Unit (ME) intervened on Tuesday evening in the Osdorp neighborhood of Amsterdam. For the third consecutive day it was rough around the fairground. More than 20 people have been arrested so far, a police spokesman said.
The spokesperson said the police have been busy for a few nights in the Amsterdam neighborhood. “And if he doesn’t calm down, then you can’t help but intervene with more vigor.”
The twenty people were arrested for disturbing public order.
The riot started around the Osdorp fair. Already on Monday it was decided to close the fair early. “We have been facing ferocious unrest and serious incidents for several days,” the spokesperson said. Heavy fireworks were set off between visitors and emergency personnel.
The early closure did not have the desired effect. Also on Tuesday he was shocked. According to The password fireworks are made and a fire is started.
The fair lasts until Sunday.
