The video of the incident circulated on social media. On Monday, March 3, the two suspects were arrested following an investigation. They are a 21-year-old man from Rotterdam and a 16-year-old boy from Capelle aan den IJssel. Both were presented to the examining magistrate on Thursday. The minor boy has been suspended, while the man remains in custody for at least 14 days longer. Both will have to account for themselves in court at a later date.

Offline and Online Street Violence

As police, we also pay attention to what is said and shared online. Violence does not stop in the real world, and therefore we do not stop either. We also monitor digital platforms for signals of crime.
