A demonstration in the Netherlands against the arrival of Afghan evacuees descended into chaos on Tuesday night, forcing police to intervene.
Local media said about 250 protesters gathered outside a reception centre at an army camp in Harskamp, a village east of Utrecht.
The protest was peaceful at first but tensions mounted after a group of young men ignored repeated calls to leave.
Some protesters sang nationalist songs, displayed hostile banners and set alight tyres in front of the reception centre.
Police officers with dogs were sent to break up the demonstration and chase protesters out of the area, but nobody was arrested.
About 800 refugees from Afghanistan will be accommodated at the Harskamp army camp. The first evacuees arrived on Tuesday afternoon.
The army camp is one of four emergency shelters for Afghan evacuees in the Netherlands.
