Wednesday evening, a large group of immigrant youths caused a lot of damage in the Schilderswijk area of the Hague. At least 100 people came onto the street, opened fire hydrants, lit fires, and caused a lot of damage to cars and street construction. When the police arrived to bring the situation under control, they were pelted with eggs and stones.

The police had to do their very best to get the situation under control. Three police cars were damaged. In addition, several police officers still have ringing in their ears from the loud fireworks that were thrown at them. In the end, four rioters were arrested. Three of them for (unlawful) assembly, and one for public violence. A police report was made against them. The police had been patrolling through Schilderswijk for several days due to trouble from young immigrant groups.”In addition, a police helicopter was deployed, and the fire department had to be called in to put out a pile of burning pallets on the Hoefkade,” the police report.

At several locations in the Hague, there was no more water on Thursday evening. The (water) pressure was gone from the supply from the opening of the fire hydrants. The Schilderswijk area of the Hague has been infamous for years in the Netherlands. In 2014, a pro-ISIS demonstration was organized, where the demonstrators called out, “Death to the Jews”.
