A 23-year-old man from Waalwijk was arrested on Monday on suspicion of serious assault along the A59. On Saturday afternoon, a man was found injured along the road after he called the police himself. He had a broken ankle and was taken to hospital by ambulance.
According to a police spokesperson, the man was assaulted outside his car. It is unclear whether this was preceded by an argument and how the man ended up along the road. The police do not want to say anything about this as part of the investigation.
The victim filed a report on Sunday. That evening, the police arrested the 23-year-old man from Waalwijk as a suspect. He will be interrogated on Monday. “Because there may still be a suspect and we have not yet heard his side of the story, we cannot say anything further about it,” says a spokesperson.
