At least five peo­ple were wound­ed in a stab­bing in Am­s­ter­dam on Thurs­day, po­lice said. One per­son was ar­rest­ed.

The stab­bing hap­pened near Dam Square in the cen­tral part of the Dutch city. Po­lice cor­doned off the area and mul­ti­ple am­bu­lances and a trau­ma he­li­copter re­spond­ed.

When asked about a pos­si­ble mo­tive, Am­s­ter­dam po­lice spokesper­son Es­ther Izaks told The As­so­ci­at­ed Press that “it’s too ear­ly to tell.”
