The police only managed to arrest one of the suspects, a 28-year-old male, who fiercely resisted his arrest and bit the officer restraining him in his upper arm. The two other suspects, 35 and 32-years old, managed to get away, but were arrested only a little while later on the Vondellaan. All three suspects were Utrecht locals.
