Seventeen arrests at Kuip during the half-time match Feyenoord | Inland

The Rotterdam football team led 4-0 at halftime. “Some of the 250 supporters drove into the pub, away from the stadium,” said a police spokesman. Some stayed behind and then turned against the police, who were there because of the unrest of the past few days in the city and further in the country. “Saturday, supporters invaded football stadiums including Heracles, something you don’t want and are not allowed to have. That is why we were there.” Until the break, the atmosphere was “great, until people started throwing things.”

The riot police responded by driving vans through the group to disperse the rioters. Someone then threw a crush barrier at a police van. The man and 16 others were arrested. “Some will be sent out tonight, another part may stay overnight at the station because they are suspected of a more serious crime.”

All in all, the unrest lasted a few minutes. As far as is known, no one was injured. The second half of the football match was able to start without any problems or delays.
