Brussels in Shock: A Police Officer Gets Stabbed Early in the Day
Picture this: Brussels, in the middle of the night, suddenly turns into a real‑life thriller. A policeman gets stabbed outside the main police station around 5:30 am, just as the city was waking up. The attacker wasn’t all that far from the scene, and the police officer got the exact hit from the moonlit street.
Who Brought the Knife? The Mystery Is Still on the Menu
The motive is still wrapped in an unsolved mystery. Police officials are digging into the backstory, but for now, they’re playing a guessing game that could take a few weeks. “We don’t know where this came from yet,” a police spokeswoman told reporters.
This Chapter of Brussels’ History
Last year’s tragedy—Brussels Airport and the metro got hit by suicide bombers, killing 32 people—has made the city slightly more on edge. Belgium lowered its threat level in early January from a high “3” to a more moderate “2.” Even so, security’s on high alert since the campus of the European Union and NATO sit squarely in the capital.
The Attacker Speaks in All‑Bang
Anonymous sources say the attacker shouted “Allahu Akbar.” No one has confirmed the story, and at present, the police are taking the details with a pinch of skepticism.
Life‑Sustaining Not Failing: Where Things Ended Up
- The officer was rescued, shot in return and rushed to a hospital.
- The attacker was also rushed to a hospital, but nothing life‑threatening was reported.
Just in Time for President Macron’s Visit
All of this unfolded during a sparkling two‑day visit by French President Emmanuel Macron, who was checking out the surroundings while the city was on a tight security binge.
In Short…
Brussels’ skyline is clouded with uncertainty—an incident that had no clear motive, no all‑clear status, and a reminder that the city, short of bombs or mafia, still wants to keep every street safe. “We’re on the hunt,” the police say. “The answer might come, or we’ll keep watching.”
