Dutch police arrest suspect in Hague knife attack that wounded 3 teenagers
Police had earlier said they were investigating “several scenarios” and that it was “too early to speculate” about whether there was a possible terror motive.
The attack happened just hours after a terror suspect stabbed two people to death in London.
“Following the stabbing incident in Grote Marktstraat, a 35-year-old man has just been arrested in the centre of The Hague. The man has no fixed place of residence,” police said on Twitter.
“He will be transferred to a police station where he will be questioned.”
The victims were a 13-year-old boy and two 15-year-old girls, none of whom knew each other, police said. They were all treated in hospital but released overnight.
The male attacker ran off after the stabbings at a department store in the city centre, triggering a huge manhunt involving police helicopters.
Images on social media showed shoppers running in panic away from the scene, on a nighttime retail street lit by Christmas fairy lights.
