UTRECHT, Netherlands—Protests broke out in a northern Dutch city Saturday night as a new COVID-19 lockdown forced bars and restaurants to close at 8 p.m.
Dutch broadcaster NOS reported that hundreds of young people gathered in a central square in Leeuwarden, 140 kilometers (85 miles) north of Amsterdam. Video showed them setting off fireworks and holding flares billowing smoke. NOS reported that riot police later moved in to push the protesters off the square.
