A 47-year-old man from Schijndel was arrested yesterday in the center of his residence. He walked with a carving knife between carnival celebrants. According to the police, the man had previously harassed several people in the center. According to officers, he was “quite under the influence”.

The man was checked by paramedics and then taken home by taxi. According to a correspondent of the broadcaster, officers on the spot could laugh about the situation.
