THE HAGUE, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) -- About 200 people were arrested during disturbances on New Year's Eve in the Netherlands and dozens of police officers were injured, Dutch police said on Monday.
"We are deeply disappointed by the many reports of aggression and violence against bystanders, the police and other care providers," Dutch police coordinator Peije de Meij said in a press release. "Our goal is to make this night as safe as possible for everyone. Deliberately seeking confrontation is downright reprehensible."
