‘Terror attack’ in Brussels as two cops are stabbed and train station evacuated over bomb scare
Bruxelles Nord train station in Brussels, Belgium was
evacuated today following a bomb scare while two police men in another part of
Brussels were stabbed by a man armed with a Swiss army knife in what
security experts believe to be two suspected terror scares in different parts
of the city.
The
train station was emptied after police received a call warning of a bomb threat
while the man who stabbed the policeman was shot in the leg as he tried to flee
the scene.
A
station spokesman said:
“A message of an alleged
bomb threat was sent to the police, all the people were evacuated from the
station, the trains have stopped. This will continue until security services
inspect the station, minimum an hour.”
Eric
Van Der Sypt, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office, told
AFP: “We have elements to believe that the incident was a terrorist attack.”
