Young man tried to stop bulldozer reaching solidarity protest for Palestine in Amsterdam

A young man confronted the police and their bulldozer during a solidarity demonstration with Palestine in Amsterdam.

On Tuesday, Amsterdam police clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters as thousands marched in the Dutch capital, a day after riot police violently broke up an encampment at Amsterdam University.

Police wielded batons against demonstrators to deter them from advancing past the nearby Holocaust Monument en route to the city centre of Amsterdam.

They also employed a bulldozer to dismantle barricades that protesters had set up at Amsterdam University's central location to barricade the narrow canal-facing road in front of the university buildings. According to Reuters, police detained at least 169 protesters.
