A 24-year-old woman was forced off the road and then stabbed on Zinkerstraat in Rotterdam on Sunday morning. She was taken to hospital with serious injuries. A 37-year-old man from Rotterdam was arrested, the police said in a statement.

The incident happened around 7:15 a.m., according to newspaper AD. The suspect is the woman's ex, the newspaper reports. The police only said that they know each other from the past.
