Punched

A 23-year old female student from Amsterdam found an expensive way to express her disappointment that the Delft Student Corps (DSC) had closed for the night. She punched the concierge in the face. “We regularly hire this guy and he also worked as a bouncer at Lorre,” said Rob van der Feltz, president of the DSC. “Such incidents are of course never pleasant.” The DSC had rented the society out for a private party that night. The woman, who the police said was drunk, was fined 330 euro.
