AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch police on Saturday said they had arrested a 35-year-old man suspected of stabbing three youths on a street in the centre of The Hague late on Friday.

 

Police said the suspect, described as having no fixed address, had been brought to a police station for questioning.

 

The three people injured, two 15-year-old girls and a 13-year-old boy were all discharged from hospital late on Friday.

 

National broadcaster NOS quoted two eyewitnesses as saying the girls had run screaming from the street into a nearby store. One said an "athletic" man fled the scene, jumping easily over obstacles.

 

The area was cordoned off for hours as first aid workers helped victims and police combed the area for clues.

Honestly I have no idea how the Dutch authorities ever catch these terrorists. The photos of the wanted men in the UK are bad enough, looking worse than a shaking pinhole camera, yet taken on top of the line digital cctv. But in Holland it's even worse, we have descriptions of this guy like:-

 

"He looked like a cheetah"

so he was orange with black spots?

 

First we heard he was aged between 40 and 45 and looked north African or middle eastern. Then we were told that was totally incorrect. I do wonder what this guy looks like after all this nonsense, and what his name is. It's almost as if they are trying to... no that is impossible.

The ever common theme of trying to murder kids again.  One day, hopefully, Europe will rise up to this nonsense.  

No terrorist motive here.

Does he also not have a fixed nationality or is Dutch police afraid to say something?

 

Did he have a stabbing emergency?
