Older woman (84) abused by two boys in Assen

An 84-year-old woman was injured in an assault in Assen last Wednesday. The woman put containers outside on the Marnepad in the Pittelo district around 7 p.m.

According to the woman, she was attacked by two boys who may have been breaking into cars. One of the boys came up to her and slapped her on the head.

“Disrespectful, you don’t do that,” says the woman’s son. “She is very shocked. My mother has a black eye and abrasions on her face and had to be treated in the ambulance.” She also suffered a bruised hand when she tried to break her fall.

Police have conducted a neighborhood investigation and are looking for two boys between the ages of 16 and 18. The family is offering a reward of 500 euros for tips that lead to the perpetrators.
