According to the Dutch police, Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were ambushed and attacked in various locations throughout the city.[4] According to the Jerusalem Post, the attacks involved multiple assaults, with footage showing fans being beaten and chased with knives.[32] Eyewitnesses reported attempted stabbings, individuals being thrown into a river, and attackers beating and spitting on Israelis.[32] Video showed one man, apparently unconscious on the street, kicked repeatedly while lying in a fetal position.[25] A report by Maariv also indicated at least one attempted kidnapping of an Israeli, and many fans sought refuge by barricading themselves in stores and buildings.[32] Social media footage showed fans being pursued with knives, a pedestrian struck by a car, and a man in a canal being forced to chant "free Palestine." Ten Israelis were injured, and three temporarily went missing during the attacks, with the Israeli Foreign Ministry reporting later that everyone was accounted for.[33][34]

Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said the attacks included hit-and-run assaults which were carried out by "boys on scooters," who fled the scene when confronted by police. She said that authorities had sought a security assessment from the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV), which found no specific threat, adding that early investigations showed the riots had been quickly organized on Telegram.[8]
