Witnesses sought after assault on father and mother on Beijerlandselaan in Rotterdam
On Sunday afternoon, March 22, around 4:00 PM, an assault took place near the parking garage on Beijerlandselaan in Rotterdam. Two occupants of a passenger car (a man and a woman) were attacked by motorcyclists while their children were seated in the back.
A possible earlier traffic dispute may have been the trigger. At the moment the car’s driver was struck by one of the motorcyclists, the front-seat passenger exited the vehicle to assist her husband but was also struck by the same motorcyclist. The woman was examined by medical staff at the emergency department. The two children in the backseat witnessed the assaults and were deeply traumatized.
Witnesses and footage sought
We are seeking anyone who witnessed the incident or was in the vicinity of the parking garage and may have captured footage of the motorcyclists on a dashcam or doorbell camera. All information leading to the identification of the suspect(s) is welcome.
