The man was shot when he attacked members of the arrest team who entered the apartment at Van den Tempelstraat. In the fighting that arose a police dog was seriously injured who later died. An attempt by agents to eliminate the man with the taser (impulse weapon) failed. The man was taken to the hospital with injuries in his lower body.
It was decided to invade the flat after agents had tried in vain to calm the man down. Even the negotiators who were brought in did not manage to make contact.
"It is serious that this happened in a residential area," says Mayor Cor Lamers. '' Although the situation took place in a home, bystanders did experience what was happening. I can imagine that it was frightening. "
During the fighting, officers reportedly tried unsuccessfully to taser the man, who stabbed a police dog.
The man has been taken to hospital in critical condition but NOS reports he is now stable.
Pictures from the scene showed his covered body being loaded onto a stretcher as officers sent him to hospital.
Mayor Cor Lamers told NU the man was of a Syrian background and 'was known to different aid agencies'.
The police dog was pictured shortly after the accident getting into a forced vehicle and officers said on social media it was fine.
But shortly after they announced it had died as a result of its injuries.
