Three people have been killed following a shooting on a tram in the central Dutch city of Utrecht.

The city’s mayor was quoted as saying that five others were injured in the incident, which police say appears to be a terrorist attack.

Police are looking for a 37-year-old Turkish man named as Gokmen Tanis and have warned people not to approach him.

Schools have closed and security has been increased while counter-terrorism police work to find the gunman.

The tram attack happened at about 10:45 local time (09:45 GMT) and one witness told local media that “a man started shooting wildly”.

Another witness told Dutch public broadcaster NOS that he had helped an injured woman with blood on her hands and clothes.
