The intentional collision took place on Thursday morning at a school on the Anna Polaktuin, where supervision was held in connection with the school start. Parents and passers -by were approached for traffic behavior.
It was seen that the suspect drove against the traffic. He got out with a small child and walked into the school. The supervisors first decided to let the man bring in the child. When he was approached afterwards, he got back into his car without saying a word. While one of the boas was at the front left at the car, according to the municipality, the man rode against him and drove away – again against the direction of travel.
The BOA was not injured, but did report attempt at severe abuse. The man was caught and fixed in the evening.
Mayor Dijk en Waarde furious
Mayor Peter Poorter van Dijk and Waard – which includes Heerhugowaard – says ‘real evil’ ‘:’ Violence against Boas is unacceptable. This boa stood there for the safety of children. Why do you use violence against it? And what example do you give? “
Poorter: “If people who are committed to our safety fall victim to aggression, then that all touches us.” The police emphasize that violence against people with a public task – such as BOAs, police, fire brigade, ambulance personnel and teachers – is being severely punished: “In such cases, the judiciary can demand three times as high penalties as normal.”
