A young woman was attacked in Temse, East Flanders, on Friday 19 January 2024. According to the East Flanders public prosecutor's office she had set off on her scooter from Temse railway station when a man, also on a scooter, followed her and pushed her off it. He then punched her repeatedly in the face and seized her by the throat. She broke free, fled to a nearby house and the police were called. The attacker fled and was not traced at the time. An appeal for information produced 34 tips, and DNA traces recovered at the scene were examined. The resulting profile matched that of a man who had been identified in a separate investigation, and he was arrested on 22 December 2025 and brought before an investigating magistrate the following day. The prosecution treats the Temse attack as attempted manslaughter. The suspect, a 40-year-old man, is due to answer for it before the correctional court in Dendermonde on 1 September 2026, alongside a separate charge arising from the investigation in which he was first identified.
