Netherlands Public Safety Update: Suspect Surrenders in De Kuip Assault as Vianen Bus Fire Points to Short Circuit

Police intensify investigations following a stadium assault alongside separate bus depot and apartment fires.

Overview

  • After the OM aired identifiable images of three suspects, a 21-year-old from Alphen aan den Rijn surrendered in the De Kuip assault case, with two suspects still being sought on suspicion of attempted murder.
  • The Feyenoord Supporterzaken employee struck by a thrown pole suffered a severe concussion, a major head wound and hand fractures, and remains unable to work or drive due to ongoing symptoms.
  • Police say the trio appear to be Fenerbahçe supporters and may not have known each other, and they have asked for tips noting the men could have traveled from abroad or live in the Netherlands.
  • At Pouw in Vianen, three buses were lost in a depot blaze that the company’s director says likely began with a short circuit in a Mercedes Sprinter, with the exact cause still under investigation and clients already notified.
  • In Amsterdam’s Oosterparkbuurt, a first-floor apartment fire spread via wooden balconies to two upper floors, leaving three homes temporarily uninhabitable as five residents were medically checked and adjacent homes underwent carbon monoxide testing.
