Amsterdam, Sept. 22 (Reuters): Riot police broke up crowds of youths who turned violent in a Dutch town late yesterday after several thousand people descended on the community following an invitation to a birthday party posted on Facebook.
Media reports said six people were hurt, including three seriously, after disturbances broke out in the northern Dutch town of Haren. Some 30,000 people received the invitation from a girl announcing her 16th birthday party on Facebook. The party was intended to be a small-scale celebration, but the girl did not set her Facebook event to private and the invitation went viral.
