Mainly minors arrested in The Hague, major incidents absent

In The Hague, 34 individuals were arrested for public disorder, wearing face coverings, and possessing illegal fireworks. Most detainees were minors aged 15 to 18 from various cities. An officer was injured by illegal fireworks and hospitalized with potential hearing damage. Social media had incited groups of youths to gather for demonstrations and looting, but major incidents were avoided. Tensions rose when demonstrators clashed with ADO Den Haag supporters, prompting police intervention to prevent looting. The police maintained a strong presence throughout the day, implementing emergency measures in the city center. Mayor Van Zanen acknowledged the situation was manageable due to police efforts but expressed concern over the necessity of such measures.
