"In a statement, Hague police said they were seeking a man aged 45-50 wearing a shawl, a black jacket and wearing a grey tracksuit.

Pictures from the area showed several dozen onlookers kept behind police fencing seeking a glimpse of the area where the stabbing took place.

Police spokeswoman Marije Kuiper said that it was not clear if the stabbing was a terror incident.

Dutch national broadcaster NOS, citing “varied sources”, said the incident did not appear to be a terrorist attack."

Sorry to hear about this stabbing incident. Sorry to hear that the Netherlands has Black Friday. Is there no place that is safe from this disgusting commercialism?

It's Christmas in Europe...
No need to have "threat levels" put out by any government.
The decent people already know there is a target on their backs during the Christian holiday of Christmas.
Sad but true...
