Dutch police report more than 200 arrests on New Year's Eve amid widespread riots, resulting in dozens of injured officers. Cities like Rotterdam saw over 100 vehicles set ablaze, prompting the use of riot squads in Amsterdam, The Hague, and other areas to disperse violent crowds. Fire brigades, assisted by riot squads, faced attacks with fireworks while tackling numerous blazes. Tragically, a 19-year-old in Haarlem died from injuries sustained in a fireworks incident. Authorities label the night's events as "unacceptable" violence, highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement during the New Year festivities.
