Three minors were injured, but were released from hospital that same evening. According to the police, the victims are a 13-year-old boy from The Hague and two 15-year-old girls from the nearby villages of Alphen aan den Rijn and Leiderdorp. The young people did not know each other.
A few hours before the attack in The Hague, a man in the center of London had stabbed two people before he was shot dead by the police. In contrast to London, The Hague initially had no indication of a terrorist background. The Dutch police said they investigate in all directions.
