HOLLAND TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, May 25, 2022) – There has been a second stabbing incident in the same general vicinity on Holland’s North Side in a three-day period.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Eric Westveer, deputies, Holland Public Safety police officers and AMR ambulance staffers were dispatched to a residence on Westwood Lane, in the vicinity of 136th Avenue and Quincy Street on Holland’s North Side, around 5:30 PM on Tuesday. That was where a verbal argument between a 31-year-old man and a 25-year-old man, both from Holland, turned violent, with the older man stabbing the younger victim several times in the abdomen.
While the victim was taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment of critical wounds, the suspect was identified and was shortly taken into custody without incident. Westveer said in a department statement that there is no threat to the public, and that this incident is not related to a stabbing two days earlier in the vicinity of Riley Street and 136th Avenue.
Both cases remain open, and anyone with any information on either incident is asked to contact the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department or Ottawa County Silent Observer (877-887-4536).
