A confused man in Goirle was arrested with pain and difficulty on Wednesday afternoon after he caused the necessary tumult. During the arrest, the confused man attacked an officer, causing the officer to suffer bruised ribs. The man has often caused nuisance in the neighborhood.
The 20-year-old resident of Goirle walked around the Wittendijk and threatened people with a paving stone. The man also jumped in front of passing cars.
A police officer on a motorcycle came to take a look. That also went wrong immediately. The man jumped in front of the moving motorcycle. The cop barely managed to swerve.
It didn’t stop there: the man banged his head hard against a lamppost several times and then ran away.
Attack with clenched fists
Again, the man jumped in front of cars before fleeing into a supermarket, while the officer ran after him. Once outside, the officer again tried to arrest the man. But not without difficulty: the man ‘attacked the officer at full speed with clenched fists’, according to the police.
The officer had to take a punch to his chest, which resulted in a few bruised ribs. Pepper spray was also unable to stop the man. He rushed to a bike shop.
In the cycling shop, the man could finally be arrested, with the help of other officers. The man has been arrested and help is sought for him.
