One person was killed and two were seriously injured in a knife attack at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam, police said, citing the Dutch newspaper Telegraaf. According to witnesses at the scene, a man allegedly stabbed those present with two knives while shouting ‘Allah Akbar’. Police arrested a suspect who was injured and taken to hospital for treatment. Police spokesman Wessel Stolle said the investigation was ongoing and that they were examining “every possible scenario”.

The man’s statement is being examined by investigators as “part of the investigation,” he added, according to the Associated Press. The attacker was stopped by a sports instructor who was giving a class near the Erasmus Bridge. “I saw a man with two long knives stabbing a boy,” he told Dutch public broadcaster Nos, saying he “eventually managed” to overpower him.
