The victims include citizens from the United States, Poland, and Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attack occurred shortly before 3:30 p.m. local time on Thursday in and around Sint Nicolaasstraat, a street just steps from Dam Square, one of the city\u2019s busiest areas and a major tourist destination. Amsterdam police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politie.nl\/nieuws\/2025\/maart\/27\/steekincident-met-meerdere-gewonden-omgeving-dam.html\">said<\/a> the victims were found at several locations nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among those injured are a 67-year-old woman and a 69-year-old man, both American nationals; a 26-year-old man from Poland; a 73-year-old woman from Belgium; and a 19-year-old woman from Amsterdam. Their current conditions were not disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspect, who was also injured in the leg, was arrested minutes later in the nearby Gravenstraat street with the help of bystanders, police said. He was transported to a hospital for treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities said the motive for the attack remains unclear, but investigators are considering the possibility that the victims were chosen at random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe police investigation is in full swing and has full priority at the moment,\u201d Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said in a statement. \u201cWe hope to soon get more clarity about the background of this horrible stabbing. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families and loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple ambulances and a Mobile Medical Team responded to the scene, and Dam Square was partially closed off to allow emergency services to operate and to facilitate the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five people were wounded in a stabbing attack near a popular tourist area in central Amsterdam, according to local police.
