The emergency services received a call for a drowning person around 4 o’clock on Friday night. A young man thought he had seen a person in the water at the sailing club in Duinbergen and decided to jump into the water himself. “A large search was held, but it turned out to be a false alarm,” said the police of Zone Damme/Knokke-Heist. Upon arrival of the emergency services, the young man himself was almost out of the water. He was taken to the hospital to be sure.
