On Monday, a group of young men fired a gel blaster at gay bar Prik on Spuistraat in Amsterdam. One bar guest, a man from Israel, was hit in the eye. It is not yet known if his vision will fully recover. The victim decided not to press charges.
Prik describes itself as “Amsterdam’s favorite gay hang-out.”
“We noticed that people often shouted at our guests. We were quite shocked about that. But many of our regulars said they got used to it.”
