An Iranian man was almost stabbed to death in a Dutch migrant center after migrants found out he was gay.
An LGBT charity confirmed that it has witness accounts confirming that the attack was because the victim is gay.
Local police initially thought the attack on the Iranian man was drugs-related.
A 34-year-old Tunisian asylum-seeker is suspected of carrying out the attack.
The man had just left a room in the migrant center when the attack unfolded.
As he walked out, he was immediately attacked and a knife wound in the thigh severed a main artery.
Paramedics were requested to the scene and he was rushed to an urgent care center.
The Tunisian man has been detained on suspicion of attempted murder.
The LGBT organisation’s Sandro Kortekaas said: ‘At least it looks like a good idea and desirable to me to reinvestigate the case.’
The central asylum centre authority gives a false sense of security. Even if the victim has been moved, he is still confronted by friends of the perpetrator.’
