Van Damme Hostage Standoff Caught On Video!
National Enquirer
|November 06 2017
Action star’s raging son holds roommate AT KNIFEPOINT.
-
SHOCKING new video obtained by The National ENQUIRER reveals the terrifying moments inside the apartment where Jean-Claude Van Damme’s son held his roommate at knife point in a drug-fueled rage!
The horrifying ordeal led to a tense two-hour standoff with cops that ended with the arrest of Nick Van Varenberg, 22, Jean-Claude’s son, for aggravated assault and kidnapping!
When cops arrived at the University House apartments in Tempe, Ariz., on Sept. 10, they followed a trail of blood from the elevator — where Varenberg bloodied his hand punching a wall — to his apartment.
In the apartment, Varenberg — the martial arts star’s youngest son — was pressing a knife to the throat of his roommate, identified as Alec, and refusing to let Alec open the door for cops!
“These f-----g pigs,” Varenberg can be heard saying on the exclusive video.
