A manhunt is underway after three people were injured in a stabbing incident in The Hague, Dutch police have said.

The incident took place in the city's main shopping street, which was busy with people looking for Black Friday deals.

The Hague police said in a statement that they were looking for a man, aged between about 45 to 50 years old, in a grey jogging suit, who remains at large.

Pictures from the area show several dozen onlookers behind a police cordon while police and ambulance vehicles are at the scene.

Dutch national broadcaster NOS quoted sources as saying the knife attack did not appear to have a terrorist motive.
