Police Appeals, Arrests and Road Closures Define Two Days of 112 Incidents Across the Netherlands

Authorities are balancing urgent violent‑crime probes with complex traffic and infrastructure responses.

Overview

  • Police say a 55-year-old man assaulted at De Nacht van Brabant Live in Den Bosch remains in a coma and they are urgently seeking witnesses from the crowd of roughly 15,000 attendees.
  • Two men aged 22 and 30 were arrested after presenting at a hospital following a shooting on Tilburg’s Corellistraat, which investigators describe as a targeted action with further arrests possible.
  • On the A12 near Arnhem-Noord three lanes were shut for hours after a truck crashed through the guardrail, with Rijkswaterstaat and the ANWB warning of long delays during repairs and adjusted detour advice.
  • Fire crews contained a brake-related fire on an A50 tank truck carrying toluyleendiisocyanaat, a hazardous chemical, leading to brief lane closures while specialists secured the vehicle.
  • Enforcement and infrastructure actions continued with FIOD seizing ten 1,000‑liter containers of red diesel at a Zutphen transport firm, five arrests after a forced break‑in at an Apeldoorn camera shop, a burst water main in Spijkenisse cutting water to 18 connections, and recurring evening gridlock from phased Neherkade roadworks in The Hague.
