Video: Riots at Hague lockdown protest; Police fire warning shot as arrests made

Authorities in The Hague, including officers on horseback, tactical units, canines and riot police, led a charge against a crowd of at least a thousand protesters on the Malieveld who were demonstrating against the country’s pandemic policy and social restrictions. Several alleged rioters were arrested on Sunday afternoon after people in the crowd lobbed heavy fireworks at police, prompting police to use force and fire at least one warning shot during the incident. Video from the scene posted online by those supporting the demonstrators including far right social media accounts showed the police moving in on the crowd, and using their batons against at least one person there.
