Michael van Gerwen Punched in Dutch Bar on King’s Day

No charges follow after an apology from the attacker.

Overview

  • The three-time world champion, struck in a Den Bosch bar on Monday during King’s Day, was filmed in a brief altercation.
  • Security pulled the attacker away as van Gerwen moved toward him, preventing any further clash.
  • Van Gerwen said the man was drunk, later received an Instagram apology, then chose not to press charges.
  • His management and the PDC said he did not provoke the incident and declined further comment.
  • He returned to Premier League play in Aberdeen on Thursday with no reported injury, losing 6-3 to Luke Humphries, and the clip echoes a 2025 late-night scuffle in a Den Bosch kebab shop.
