‘Terror attack’ in Brussels as two cops are stabbed and train station evacuated over bomb scare
Bruxelles Nord station was emptied after police received a call warning of a bomb threat
A TRAIN station in Brussels has been evacuated following a bomb scare - while elsewhere in the city two cops were stabbed and another wounded in a suspected terror attack.
Bruxelles Nord station was emptied after police received a call warning of a bomb threat.
The assailant resisted arrested but was wounded when a policeman - whose nose was broken during a struggle - shot him in the leg as he tried to flee the scene.
The train station and prosecutor's office bomb threats are being treated as two separate incidents.
The policemen suffered injuries to the neck and stomach after being attacked by a man armed with a Swiss army knife.
Their condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
"This will continue until security services inspect the station, minimum an hour."
Meanwhile, 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."
It is allegedly the second time the station has been emptied this week over a suspected bomb alert.
