Dutch media report that a 15-year-old boy was riding a mountain bike capable of 84 km/h and threw the bike at police, leaving a female officer with serious injuries. It follows other Gelderland incidents: a trauma helicopter was called to a crash in Apeldoorn, a boy on a fatbike was hospitalised after a hard fall, and a 13-year-old was assaulted in the Bosjes van Pex. Commentators are linking the cases to fast modified bikes and youth safety.
