At least four police officers were hurt during a violent riot that erupted on the streets outside The Hague last night, after two rival groups of Eritreans clashed following a a political disagreement.

Rioters torches police cars and a bus, and Dutch police officers were forced to use tear gas to try and dispel them.

Dozens of rioters were filmed surrounding the Opera conference hall along Fruitweg in the Netherlands, as multiple police vans drove to the scene.

Another clip also showed the aftermath. The building had several smashed windows and parked vehicles were on fire, with the street left looking like a warzone.

A fight broke out between two groups of Eritreans. 'It got seriously out of hand,' The Hague Municipality spokesman Robin Middel said last night.

Police said that during the disturbances, two officers sustained injuries to their hand and another to her teeth. A fourth was hit by a police car in the chaos.

'Out of nowhere, our colleagues were confronted with very intense and serious violence,' said police commander Marielle van Vulpen.

Police made several arrests and have called for witnesses and video footage, as they investigate the riots.

the Eritreans I’ve met have all been light skinned with thin facial features...seemingly a lot of arab intermingling, forced or otherwise....Ethiopians are similiar in that half their population have thin builds and facial features and the other half darker skin, more typical african features...
