Three Syrians, one of 16 and two of 17 years old, were slightly injured. A fourth (also 17 years old) has been admitted to the hospital with a stab wound. According to a spokesperson for the COA, he makes it ‘reasonable’.
‘Four Syrians were injured in stabbing in Eindhoven’
The East Brabant police arrested two suspects. These young men, from Amsterdam and Almere, had stolen Fatbikes in their possession. For the time being, healing is charged. Whether they are involved in the stab incident is still being investigated. The police are conducting a neighborhood investigation, viewing camera images and calls witnesses to report.
A total of twenty Syrian youngsters stay in Geldrop. As far as we know, they have never caused any notable nuisance. The COA finds the question whether there have been problems ‘not relevant’ before. “At the moment we also want to see the event separately from the origin and location where the victims come from,” said Renate van Lierop-Kupers, spokeswoman for the COA region South.
Coa: ‘Schrik is good’
According to Van Lierop, much attention is paid to the situation of the young people who have fallen victim. “The shock is good,” the spokeswoman of the COA outlines the situation. “Because of the declarations that the victims want to make, there is contact with the police. Because the situation has been intense, victim assistance will be offered.”
Not only in Eindhoven and the surrounding area do Syrians are not feeling well. There is also a printed mood at the two reception locations in Den Bosch. A call on social media led to the arrival of 150 protesters to the Bossche Center on Friday. The police deduced from the reports that it was mainly FC Den Bosch fans, who ‘wanted to guarantee safety of daughters, sons, grandchildren, the elderly and women’. It led to a major police deployment at the Bossche Kermis, which was still going on at that time. The demonstrators shouted slogans like ‘AZC, gone with it’.
The Bossche Mayor Jack Mikkers had stated the day before that not the Syrians, but Syrian young people who live independently, caused the nuisance in the AZCs. With 27 area bans, which have since been violating ten times, Den Bosch tries to keep that group out of the center. Alderman Pieter-Paul Slikker supported the Syrians residing in the AZC by visiting the locations and handing out sunflowers.
Marco Kroon fiercely lashes into nuisance Syrian youth: ‘Schorem of the worst kind’
Marco Kroon: ‘Foreign Tuning’
Former soldier Marco Kroon fiercely achieved on social media out to the Syrians. He called it ‘foreign tuning and hoarse of the worst kind’. “This rig is only out for a fight, misery and nuisance,” he noted. He was able to imagine that a group of Bossche men wanted to take action. “But if you take matters into your own hands, the chance of escalation is high,” said Kroon, who argued for ‘more green on the street’.
