The five people treated in the hospital were released, while some 20 to 30 people suffered light injuries, police said. At least 62 suspects were arrested, with 10 still in custody, the city's public prosecutor, René de Beukelaer, told reporters at a news conference Friday.
The attacks were condemned as antisemitic by authorities in Amsterdam, Israel and across Europe. In the U.S., President Biden said antisemitism must be fought wherever it emerges.
"The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted," Mr. Biden said on social media. "We've been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities' commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable. We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges."
