Police Release Images of Five Suspects in The Hague Riot Police Bus Attack

Investigators ask the public to identify the numbered suspects via official hotlines.

Overview

  • The new images, broadcast via Team West on March 3, show five men storming a Mobiele Eenheid bus during the September 20, 2025 unrest in The Hague.
  • Police assigned each suspect a unique number and request tips that reference those numbers through the opsporingstiplijn, an anonymous line, and a digital form.
  • The riots followed a demonstration for stricter asylum policy, after which a breakaway group moved onto the Utrechtsebaan and into the city center.
  • Officers and journalists were attacked, a police car was set on fire, damage was reported at the D66 party office and hospitality venues, and rioters tried to reach the Binnenhof.
  • Authorities deployed riot units, a water cannon, and tear gas to restore order by about 19:30, and 26 participants have since been convicted with more cases pending.
