Three people have been wounded in a stabbing incident in the Dutch city of The Hague, police said Friday evening.

The police did not give a motive.

“Stabbing incident with multiple wounded on the Big Market Street in The Hague. Emergency Services are on the scene. More information to follow from this account,” police tweeted in Dutch.

Police have asked eyewitnesses to come forward and said the situation is “complex.”

The incident happened in a busy shopping street in the centre of the city.

The news comes hours after a man was shot dead in central London by police officers, in a terrorist stabbing incident that left a number of people injured.
