According to Het Laatste Nieuws, a 16-year-old girl claims she was hit by a white van as she was cycling on her way to training on Tuesday.
The driver of the vehicle then allegedly forced him into the passenger compartment. “She was on the ground, and the driver stopped. But instead of bringing him help, he forced him into the van, ”explains the mother of the victim to our colleagues. “Fortunately, just before he left, she managed to escape through a window.”
But the story does not end there. “The man then chased her and caught up with her. He punched him several times and pulled him back into the car. He managed to drive off, but luckily she once more managed to jump out of a window and fled, despite her injuries.
Soon another vehicle arrived. In it was a police officer, father of a teammate of the victim, whom he dropped off at training. “He was the one who called the emergency services.”
