Laatste Nieuws explains that a man was arrested following a chase with the police.
It all started at 6:15 p.m., when a swimmer climbed without authorization into the boat of two lifeguards who were patrolling along the coast. “My rescuers asked him to leave, but the situation degenerated,” their manager explained to our colleagues.

In front of his friends, the young man then rushed and pushed one of the rescuers and the two men fell into the water. While the rescuer got back on board, the attacker returned to the beach and fled on foot. He was then taken in by police officers, who managed to arrest him a little later.

A complaint will be filed. “We cannot tolerate this kind of behavior. Unfortunately, we see that respect for lifeguards is decreasing, while we are just trying to ensure the safety of swimmers. Also from this young man and his friends.”
