The Hague: Manhunt after three hurt in stabbing in Dutch shopping area

And another. Friday again. From Sky News and the Guardian

Police have begun a manhunt after three people were hurt in a stabbing in The Hague.

In a statement, Hague police said they were seeking a man aged 45-50 wearing a shawl, (a shawl, or a  shemagh?) a black jacket and wearing a grey tracksuit. . . . He is believed to be of North African descent. 

The incident happened in the Grote Marktstraat shopping area, which was busy with people looking for Black Friday deals. An area near the town’s historic centre was cordoned off, and dozens of police and ambulances were on the scene.

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