A violent riot erupted on the streets outside The Hague last night, resulting in injuries to at least four police officers.

The clash occurred between two rival groups of Eritreans following a political disagreement. Rioters set police cars and a bus ablaze, prompting Dutch police to employ tear gas to disperse the unruly crowd.

Numerous rioters were captured on video surrounding the Opera conference hall along Fruitweg in the Netherlands as police vans arrived at the scene.

Another clip depicted the aftermath, with the building sporting several shattered windows and parked vehicles engulfed in flames, leaving the street resembling a warzone.

The altercation between the Eritrean groups escalated significantly, according to The Hague Municipality spokesman Robin Middel.

In the midst of the chaos, police officers suffered injuries, including hand injuries, damage to teeth, and one officer being hit by a police car, the Daily Mail reported.

Several arrests were made as the police investigate the riots, urging witnesses to come forward with video footage.

The disturbance reportedly originated when a group loyal to Eritrea’s government was holding a meeting at the Opera conference hall.

The venue came under attack from Eritreans opposing the African nation’s government.
