The victim, who just came from a hockey party in Schiedam, was stabbed out of nowhere on the Kortedijk in Vlaardingen on Saturday evening, April 16. She was cycled past by a man who first cycled past her, turned around and then stabbed her in the back. At first she thought she was getting hit. When it turned out to be a stab wound, she was immediately taken to a hospital. The woman is now doing well.
The police immediately opened the hunt for the suspect and placed a large team of detectives on the investigation. Also, against the custom, images of the suspect were soon shown in investigative programs. Last Tuesday evening, Opsporing Verzocht showed better images of the suspect. The joingen eventually reported himself to the police on King’s Day. He is in custody and will be presented to the examining magistrate on Friday. Partly because he is a minor, the police and the Public Prosecution Service are reluctant to provide further information.
