Multiple Stabbed Including Police Officer in Hoofddorp Rampage

A stabbing rampage in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, early this morning left multiple people injured, including a police officer whose patrol car was found smeared with blood. Emergency services responded with several ambulances and trauma teams, and the area was cordoned off as police began an investigation. The officer was seriously injured and taken to the hospital, with some victims reportedly in very serious condition. This incident echoes a similar knife attack in Amsterdam in late March, where five people, including two American tourists, were stabbed near Dam Square, resulting in one suspect being arrested after bystanders intervened. Witnesses described chaotic scenes with piercing screams and victims collapsing after being stabbed. Authorities have not yet released detailed information about the motives or the full extent of the injuries, and investigations are ongoing.
