Amsterdam police fire warning shots during arrest attempt | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Warning shots have been fired during a police operation near Amsterdam's central train station. | |
The gunfire came before a short chase involving a black Volkswagen Golf, which ended with three people being arrested in the street a few hundred metres away from the station. | |
Dutch police said no-one was injured. | |
The area around the station has now reportedly been cordoned off, and there is a heavy police presence. | |
It happened on the same day at least 30 people were killed in explosions in Brussels. | |
There is currently no indication the two events are linked, and the reasons for the arrests and gunfire are not yet known. | |
