Overview
- Officers stopped a man after a report about a stolen fatbike and pursued him; he fell during the chase and was arrested, then became unwell and died on the street on Saturday evening.
- Bystander footage that has circulated online shows officers restraining a person on the ground while he calls for help, and those images are being collected as evidence for the inquiry.
- The Public Prosecution Service identified the deceased as 51-year-old Alfredo Goeloe and confirmed the Rijksrecherche opened an investigation into the incident.
- Witnesses say the man begged for help and claimed he had diabetes but those medical claims and the exact medical cause of death are unverified pending official examinations.
- Residents have left flowers and candles and organized a silent march to the local police station for Monday evening as the Rijksrecherche investigation continues and the OM prepares a legal review.
