The 40-year-old man arrested by police on Wednesday for hitting a man with an electric car on Leliesluis in the city center is free again. He is still a suspect in the case.
The man was arraigned yesterday and released by the investigating judge. His lawyer Gerald Roethof and the Prosecutor’s Office confirmed this to AT5.
Police arrested the suspect Wednesday, several hours after the incident. He is suspected of attempted serious assault or assault. Various images sent to AT5 clearly showed how the driver of an electric car ran over a man’s legs and then ran away.
Traffic problems
The accident was most likely preceded by a traffic dispute. Before being hit, the man was thrown to the ground by the driver of the car. The images also show that the victim stopped in front of the car twice and was hit.
Roethof: “Until now, in our opinion, the complaint against the client has been very one-sided in the media. The client was actually released yesterday. This happened during the very first judicial review. This really doesn’t happen without reason.” Roethof plans to provide a more detailed response later today.
