Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports that the justice department have confirmed that charges have been made, and claimed that the individual concerned is 29-year-old Promes.

If found guilty he could face a punishment of between 24 and 42 months.

Lawyer Yehudi Moszkowicz, a lawyer retained by the alleged victim, said: “The decision to sue Promes is the only right decision.

“After taking note of the file, we will also ask the Public Prosecution Service to prosecute the suspect for attempted manslaughter.

“If necessary, we will go to the Court for that.”
