Police say that rioters on rooftops and in the streets caused "serious nuisance" and threw eggs, stones and "heavy fireworks" at officers.
There were no immediate reports of injuries but windows on two police vehicles were severely damaged. A garbage container was also set on fire.
The clashes began around 23:00 on Thursday night in the low-income neighbourhood of Hoefkade-Vaillantlaan
