Police say he was parked in a place where he wasn't allowed to stop and drove off when they approached him.

Police also said that "There is no indication whatsoever that this is a terrorist attack."

The first images from the Amsterdam incident area showed a major police presence around the railway station with first aid responders treating one person.

A black car was shown to be slightly damaged against a low retaining wall close to the station.
