3 slashed in Hague shopping district

Three young people were stabbed in a bustling shopping area in the Netherlands Friday, police said.

“All three victims of the stabbing at #GroteMarktstraat are minors. We are in contact with their families,” police in The Hague tweeted.

Images posted on social media showed a stretch in front of Hudson’s Bay department store on Grote Markt St. in The Hague cordoned off with police tape as cops searched for the blade-wielding suspect.

“Our investigation into the suspect continues at full strength,” a Hague police tweet assured.

A Dutch police spokeswoman said it was too early to say whether terror was the motive behind the 7:45 p.m. attack.

“We are keeping every scenario open,” the department spokeswoman, Marije Kuiper said.

The young victims were treated and released from a local hospital, cops said.

The stabbing happened in a popular area teeming with shoppers. Supermarkets and luxury stores were lit up with early Christmas decorations.

Home to the UN International Court of Justice, The Hague sits on the North Sea about 35 miles southwest of Amsterdam.

The Netherlands was shocked by a similar stabbing in Amsterdam a year ago, when two Americans were wounded in a knife attack that prosecutors say had a “terrorist motive.”

The Black Friday knifing in the coastal Dutch city followed another stabbing attack earlier in the day in Britain that left at least two victims dead and shut down London Bridge.

The suspect in the London stabbing, who was wearing a hoax bomb, was fatally shot by police.
