A police spokesman also told AD: 'He did a great job.

'We're very proud of him, but we also want to point out that you need to be very careful if you want to make a citizen's arrest. Most people are not trained for this sort of thing.'

His actions sparked waves of praise on social media, with one comment saying: 'Respect for this man. We need more heroes like this.

'A true hero, despite the chaos this man managed to hold the attacker down until the police arrived.'

Another said: 'Hero, this man deserves a medal!'

The suspect was tackled to the ground outside the Febo fast food restaurant, according to reports.
 
I had heard years ago that the Netherlands is soft on crime. Is that true?
The Netherlands has a low crime rate compare to other countries. They approach the offenders differently than we do. They focus on rehabilitation as well as reintegration. They seem to be quite successful at it along with Norway that seems to hold the best system.

"Why does the Netherlands have such a low crime rate?
Another factor is shorter sentences for non-violent crimes. A senior researcher at the Dutch Study Centre for Crime and Law Enforcement Peter van der Laan said to the Press that 55 per cent of all custodial sentences in the Netherlands are for less than one month; three-quarters are shorter than three months.Aug 10, 2024"
