Dozens of people have been freed by police after a gunman seized hostages at an Apple store in Amsterdam.
Footage shows the assailant chasing a person fleeing the store before suddenly being hit by a car in Leidseplein - a square in the centre of the Dutch capital.
Amsterdam police said: 'We managed to stop the hostage-taker by hitting him as he ran out. Violent images of that collision can be seen.
'We now know that the suspect had no explosives on his body and medical personnel are now taking care of him.'
A clip earlier showed a man in a headlock with what appeared to be a gun pointed at his head inside the shop.
The hostage-taker could be seen waving around the weapon as he gestured towards customers sat in a restaurant across the street.
Another video also captured approximately a dozen armed police officers taking cover and surrounding the store in the city.
Local media reports suggest the assailant is an armed robber, but this has not been confirmed.
