Ghent (Brussels Morning Newspaper): A Ghent man was critically injured after a New Year’s Eve fight. Seven people are under investigation.
A man from Ghent, who was driving his friends home on New Year’s Eve, is now seriously injured after a violent incident early in the morning. Around 4 a.m., after he dropped off two friends at Zandberg, a fight broke out between several people. The reasons for the argument are still being investigated, but early reports say the man had been hit on the head with a bottle. However, the East Flanders public prosecutor’s office has not confirmed this detail.
What led to the critical injury of a Ghent man on New Year’s Eve?
Even though the man was injured, he tried to keep driving, unaware of how serious his injuries were. It wasn’t until he got to the hospital that he realised the full extent of his condition. Doctors quickly put him into an induced coma to help stabilise him. Initially, it seemed like he wasn’t in immediate danger, but his situation has since worsened, and he is now in critical condition. This change has left the local community in shock and raised serious concerns about the violence he experienced.
The East Flanders public prosecutor’s office is investigating what happened that night, confirming that seven people were involved, but no arrests have been made yet. Authorities are working to determine each person’s role and who is responsible for the victim’s injuries. It has been said that the motive for the argument remains unclear. As the investigation unfolds, the public is eager for answers about this act of violence.
