It all seems to have started on the night of Monday November 4 to Tuesday November 5, in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. A homeless man, who was sleeping in the area of the Lievehaven maritime museum, received a concrete slab thrown on his head around 4 a.m. by another individual who fled. In recent hours, the Dutch police have launched a call for witnesses to find this attacker, probably in his thirties, for “attempted murder”.
In the early morning of November 5, around 8 a.m., a few hours after the attack, this man boarded a train at Breda station, to go to Belgium. The Belgian federal police also relayed the wanted notice, specifying that the train in question stops at the stations of Noorderkempen, Antwerp-Central, Antwerp-Berchem, Mechelen, Brussels Airport Zaventem, Brussels -North, from Brussels-Central to a terminus at Brussels-South station.
Has he stayed in Belgium since then? Did he return to the Netherlands or elsewhere? “This man is potentially dangerous. The police ask not to approach him, but to immediately call the police,” the press release specifies. And a detail slips into the call from the Dutch and Belgian police: the man actively sought “was in possession of large shopping bags, of the “ECO-bags” type that can be purchased in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg”. This is confirmed by the photo accompanying the wanted notice.
