Around 9:45 p.m. on Tuesday August 8, a fifteen-year-old boy was stabbed several times at Blankenberge station. Subsequently, he was taken to hospital. The assailant was neutralized by the police and was shot in the arm.
That day, the young man had gone to an uninhabited property with friends. The teenager told Het Laatste Nieuws newspaper that he did not know who the attacker was: “I think he was a vagrant, but I can’t be sure. He shouted something to us in a foreign language, and we ran away”.
The group therefore quickly fled but the teenager tripped over a chair and the group continued without him. As the young man turned his back on him to escape through the window, the attacker, a 27-year-old Afghan national, seized the opportunity to stab him.
Frightened, the teenager continued to advance and left the building. It was then that he realized he had indeed been stabbed. “I saw a lot of blood,” he says. “The doctors say he was very lucky,” his mother said of his hospital stay. “He received five stab wounds in the back, one of which almost hit his kidney. In that case, it would have been very different and he wouldn’t be sitting here at home today”.
Today, the young man must recover. “Holidays will never be the same. For example, he will have to wait a little before he can play football again. Fortunately, everything should be back to normal”, concluded his mother.
