Three hurt in two overnight stabbings in The Hague
Three people were injured in two stabbing incidents in The Hague overnight. The stabbings happened within a few minutes of each other near Kalvermarkt and Den Haag Central Station. The police are investigating whether they are connected.
The police received multiple reports of two stabbing incidents at around 1:15 a.m., the Den Haag police said on social media. One incident occurred on Kalvermarkt, and the other on Koningin Julianaplein, near the central station. The two locations are around 700 meters apart.
The police cordoned off the crime scenes and launched an investigation. Because the stabbings happened so close together, both in time and location, investigators are taking into account that they may be related, Omroep West reported.
Investigators asked witnesses or anyone else with relevant information and camera footage to come forward.
The condition of the three injured people is unknown. Several ambulances responded to the scenes along with the police. No arrests have been reported.
