A car exploded in central Amsterdam with the driver suspected of having caused the fire on purpose.
Dam Square in the centre of the Dutch capital was closed to pedestrians and traffic while emergency services attended the scene near the city's war memorial.
It comes a week after a mass stabbing close to the square in which five people were attacked. Four of them remain in hospital.
A man, believed to be the driver, was spotted on fire near the vehicle.
