A woman suffered serious injuries after being assaulted during a disturbance at a party venue on Rhôneweg in Amsterdam. Police used batons to clear the area, but the suspect managed to escape and is currently being sought by authorities.
A woman was left seriously injured following an altercation at a party venue on Rhôneweg in Amsterdam early Sunday morning. At approximately 5:40 a.m., the victim was struck by a man, triggering a significant disturbance that forced police intervention. Officers were compelled to deploy batons and form a line to manage the aggressive crowd, eventually removing several guests from the premises to restore order. The incident was explicitly stated by authorities to be unrelated to the Amsterdam Dance Event occurring elsewhere in the city this weekend.
Despite the police response, the suspected assailant successfully fled the scene amid the chaos. He is described as a tall man of color, approximately 30 years old, and remains at large. No other arrests have been made in connection with the case. Investigators are currently appealing for witnesses to come forward and are seeking any available video footage to assist in their search for the suspect, who is wanted for aggravated assault.
