The man was already waving the machete in his house, reports RTV Rijnmond. Despite warnings from the police, he did not put the knife down. The police wanted to arrest him because of a threat he had addressed to someone earlier today.
The suspect was taken to hospital by ambulance from Monseigneur Nolenslaan. “He is out of danger,” said the spokeswoman.
The National Criminal Investigation Service conducts investigations in accordance with the standard procedure for police shooting incidents.
