Two wounded as Dutch police fire shots at protest over new COVID-19 restrictions
Crowds of rioters in the port city of Rotterdam torched cars and threw rocks at police who responded with shots and water canon, as protests against COVID-19 measures turned violent on Friday night. 'We fired warning shots and there were also direct shots fired because the situation was life-threatening,' police spokesperson Patricia Wessels told Reuters. 'We know that at least two people were wounded, probably as a result of the warning shots, but we need to investigate the exact causes further,' she said.
