clashes

Referees will inevitably have clashes with teams and individuals given the high-stakes nature of professional football, but there must be a belief that any lingering antipathy is put aside the moment they take change of their next game.

Police chief Peter Holla has said there had been incidents "on both sides" during Thursday's clashes.

The clashes came amid a rise in antisemitism globally since the start of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

"That is a federal issue, and there will be massive clashes because you’re going to have cameras out there making sure that they capture the images of ICE coming along and taking these people away," Watters said.

There were further clashes in Dam Square overnight into Thursday but police were mostly able to keep the groups separate.
