The minor was found stabbed and seriously injured on Nico Bolkesteinlaan in the east of the city. He was found on the road "near his fatbike", according to the police.

The police believe that the boy was attacked by multiple people, the AD reports. The perpetrators allegedly took personal belongings from the boy, according to the newspaper. The police were not available for comment on Sunday. A police spokesperson told RTL Nieuws that the perpetrators are still at large.

Police immediately began an investigation in the area where the boy was found. The investigation continued on Sunday. Police are asking witnesses to come forward.
