The Utrecht police are looking for a man who stabbed a disabled woman with a hypodermic needle in the city last week, RTV Utrecht reports. The attack happened behind a flower stall on Kleine Singel last week Tuesday. The woman was trying to leave on her motorized wheelchair when an unknown man approached her.
