Stabbing in Amsterdam
Just a week ago, five people were injured in a knife attack near central Dam Square in Amsterdam.
Authorities set up a security cordon around the scene, and police confirmed that a suspect had been arrested.
However, media reports indicated that authorities faced difficulties identifying the suspect, who appeared to be a lone wolf and had chosen his victims at random.
Police sources told The Telegraph that the subject had been using a false identity, complicating the investigation.
