A 22-year-old man from Klazienaveen was seriously injured in an assault in the center of Emmen in the night from Saturday to Sunday. Three suspects have been arrested. An 18-year-old man from Emmen, a 21-year-old man without a fixed place of residence or abode and a 23-year-old man from Musselkanaal.
The incident took place on Raadhuisplein, not far from the former flat of the Tax and Customs Administration. It is not the first time that an incident has taken place on the square in the center. The police are investigating the various incidents in the square.
For example, a 36-year-old man was assaulted in mid-January. For this, the police arrested a 28-year-old Emmenaar at the time. In September, a 21-year-old man was also sentenced to twenty months in prison for aggravated assault a year earlier.
