In front of the Bourse in Brussels city centre on Sunday, a man was arrested after he attacked several people with a kitchen knife. One victim's ear was injured in the incident. The attacker is accused of attempted robbery, reports the prosecutor.

A police patrol near the Bourse was alerted by shouts and arrived on the scene to find a man wounded in the ear. A witness was able to point the officers in the direction of the attacker, who was promptly arrested.

Thanks to another witness, the agents also located the kitchen knife the man had used in the attack and thrown away. The blade was 20cm long.
