Two police officers were stabbed Wednesday by a knife-wielding man in Brussels in an incident that could be terror-related, prosecutors said.
(FOX)- The man allegedly stabbed one officer in the neck and the other in the abdomen in the city’s heavily-Muslim Schaerbeek neighborhood on Wednesday and then fled the scene.
The assailant was stopped by a second group of police. He’s accused of breaking the nose of one officer, whothen shot the man in the leg.
Federal prosecutor’s spokesman Eric Van Der Sypt said “we have reason to believe that it is terror-related.”
Van Der Sypt declined to provide details or explain why prosecutors think the attack was linked to terrorism.
