Amsterdam: Police station attacked

A group of Moroccans smashed up police cars and attacked a police station in Amsterdam. The youth caused a great deal of damage, but were not apprehended.

A group of several dozen youth attacked the police station in Slotervaart at the turn of the year. They smashed up three police cars, including one surveillance car and two civilian cars. Windows in the station were smashed as well.

The riot police was called in, but was not put into action. For the time being, the police has not apprehended anybody.

In October, Moroccan Bilal B (22) was shot dead by a police agent in the same police department after he attacked her and a colleague with a knife. For several weeks later there were riots in the neighborhood and various card set afire.
