Investigators emphasize public witness accounts with a focus on available camera footage.

Overview

  • Amsterdam police released recognisable images of a suspect in the June Slotermeer assault after securing approval from the Public Prosecution Service.
  • The victim in Amsterdam was followed from a bus and attacked near Burgemeester van Tienhovengracht and Marsmanstraat before neighbors responded and the assailant fled.
  • In The Hague, an 18-year-old walking on the Prinsegracht was stabbed in the leg by a passing cyclist around 8:30 a.m. and was taken to hospital.
  • Police describe the The Hague suspect as a male aged 15 to 20 with a dark complexion and short dark hair, wearing a black hooded jacket, on a small bright orange bicycle with black panniers, fleeing toward the Schilderswijk.
  • Authorities have opened investigations in both cities and ask anyone with tips or relevant CCTV from the Prinsegracht to contact police.
