Officials say the attacker fled the Fabeltjesland daycare on a bicycle, but police caught and arrested a man shortly afterward in a supermarket. Witnesses in the grocery store said he was extremely thin, had red hair and a face painted black and white.
Local reports say he was a patient at a nearby psychiatric hospital.
The suspect was to appear before a judge later Friday.

"It was a disaster. All the children were lying down on the ground, bleeding, in the neck, in the stomach, everywhere," he said.
Town Mayor Piet Buyse launched an emergency action plan to evacuate people from the daycare by helicopter and ambulance. They have been taken to a local hospital in Dendermonde.
Buyse told Belgian radio and television broadcaster VRT that daycare staff are "in a state of shock."

There was a Psychiatric hospital nearby the daycare. One of the patiences in that hospital attack the daycare. He walked into the daycare and stabbed the children. Then, he fled the Fabeltjesland daycare on a bicycle but the police man caught him and arrest a man shortly after in supermarket. According to witness, he was extremely thin, had a red hair and a face painted black and white.
He killed as many as 3 and at least 10 other children aged three or younger were believed to be injured. Why. why he did do that.. There is no reason to do that. The staffs in daycare were in a state of shock. They have no motive for the attack.

There are many comments talking about this accident such as below.
It's so interesting to see that one topic can make some different opinios like this.

1) Having a daycare near a psychiatric hospital is asking for trouble. They should have shackle an electrical device on every patient equip with GPS. If patient gets 20 feet near daycares or schools, device emit an electrical current to shock person unconscience. Otherwise, having lock doors with security cameras and intercom. State your business, identify yourself, your relationship to the children, and xray scan for dangerous weapons.


2) Hey Madronian: if he had a gun he might have killed 30, or have you already forgotten about Virginia Tech? By your twisted logic why not legalize possession of hand grenades(수류탄) and rocket launchers!

3) Really though...it is sometimes impossible to prevent this type of tragedy. This man was obviously not well and attacked the innocent. Nobody expects this kind of thing, so it is difficult to prevent. As someone who works with children, I know we take as much precaution as possible to prevent this sort of thing, but there are still loopholes(헛점)...I mean, we are only human. I send my heart out to the parents of the dead and injured, and to the workers at the daycare who will carry this with them permanently.

4) My condolences goes out to those affected families. This is truly a tragic event. Thinkagain wrote "You should realise that the real culprits here are the doctors, nurses and/or security personnel ..."
