Police arrested a 16-year-old boy after a violent incident in Zele, East Flanders, that left a 38-year-old man with life-threatening injuries.
The incident happened on 8 August at a playground in Hendrik Consciencestraat.
The cause of the violence and the exact circumstances are still under investigation, according to the East Flanders Public Prosecutor’s Office.

On Wednesday morning, authorities said that the 38-year-old man was no longer in a life-threatening condition but is in a medically induced coma.
