North Holland’s Provincial Council unanimously adopted a CDA motion calling for better protection of women on public transport after a man harassed several women on a bus from Haarlem to IJmuiden on 19 October. Police said he made sexually suggestive remarks and touched a passenger after boarding near the Spaarne Gasthuis in Schalkwijk, then got off near the Gedempte Oude Gracht. The investigation is ongoing and the suspect has not been found.
