| An incident outside Amsterdam’s main railway station involving a car that hit pedestrians, leaving two people seriously injured, is not thought to have been an extremist attack. “There is no indication whatsoever that this is a terrorist attack,” police spokeswoman Marjolein Koek said. | |
| Police said that the driver was parked in a place where he was not allowed to stop and drove off when approached by police, then ran into a wall. Some of the injured were hospitalised while others were treated at the scene. Police also said that the car was searched and that the driver was questioned. | |
| The incident received immediate widespread attention after several extremist attacks in Europe over the past year involving vehicles, including one at London Bridge in London last week. | The incident received immediate widespread attention after several extremist attacks in Europe over the past year involving vehicles, including one at London Bridge in London last week. |
