                  Three Israelis were among eight people injured when a car rammed into a crowd outside the central station in Amsterdam central. Police station late Saturday, in what police have deemed to be an accident.

                  At least one of the Israelis remains in hospital, according to the Nieuw Israelietisch Weekblad Jewish newspaper.

                  Police said that the incident was not terror-related, rather that the driver became sick at the wheel and lost control.

                  "The suspect has been interviewed, and it appears not to have been intentional. But we are investigating further," Amsterdam police said on their Twitter account.

                  The incident came a week after three attackers in a van mowed down pedestrians in London before going on a stabbing spree, killing eight people and injuring 48.

                  The Netherlands has been on high alert following the London attack.
