Man arrested with ax in Maastricht: girl hit on the head with bag Inland

The girl suffered minor injuries from the impact. Police have taken the man and are investigating the matter further. The young woman would be a random victim. It is unknown why the suspect hit her.

Around 7 p.m., the police raided a house. The man was then removed from the house. He did not resist, according to police. What possessed the man is still a mystery. That should be clear from the interrogation, said a police spokesman.

A helicopter, police dog and several armed officers were used in the search for the man. It is not known why the man carried the ax with him. Earlier today, the police warned of ‘a man walking around with an ax in the Maastricht neighborhood De Heeg’. Witnesses should not approach him themselves, but immediately call the police. A Burgernet message was also sent with the warning.
