Amsterdam’s mayor has condemned “hit and run” attacks on Israeli football fans visiting the city.
Mayor Femke Halsema said the city is looking back at a “black night and a dark day”.
She said men on scooters roamed the city attacking supporters after trouble between Maccabi Tel Aviv football club fans and pro-Palestinian protesters.
Amsterdam police chief Peter Holla said Maccabi supporters attacked a taxi and set a Palestinian flag on fire on Wednesday.

DAY BEFORE MATCH
Tension began to build on Wednesday as some of the 3,000 visiting Maccabi supporters had minor altercations with locals including taxi drivers and Ajax supporters in the city centre, police said.
A police report said groups of Maccabi supporters burned a Palestinian flag on Dam square, pulled another down from a nearby building and vandalised a taxi.
