Several people were arrested after celebrations by Moroccan football fans after the national team’s World Cup victory over the Netherlands led to disturbances in several Dutch cities on Tuesday, according to Dutch outlet NU.nl.
Hundreds of supporters gathered in The Hague’s Schilderswijk district after Morocco advanced to the round of 16 following a penalty shootout victory over the Dutch team.
The celebrations initially included fireworks, Moroccan flags, motorists sounding their horns, and people dancing in the streets.
Dutch police said officers were later targeted with fireworks and stones, prompting the deployment of a water cannon to disperse a group gathered on Vaillantlaan, a main road in the district.
Police said several people were arrested on suspicion of public violence.
