• A 23-year-old cyclist from Barendrecht died after being struck by a car on the Noldijk; the 60-year-old driver from Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht was detained and had been drinking, which police noted during standard post-fatality procedures.
• Two Polish men, aged 37 and 38, were seriously injured in a stabbing in a home on Kanaalstraat in Son, and a 34-year-old Spanish suspect was apprehended and taken to a hospital as police continue inquiries complicated by a language barrier.
