After the knife attack outside the EU Commission in Brussels, all three wounded were discharged from hospital. The alleged perpetrator will be brought before an investigating judge on suspicion of attempted murder, the Public Ministry announced today. The suspect is 30 years old.
Prosecutors say he attacked three people with a knife on a subway train that entered a busy station in the early evening. Three people were injured in the incident, one seriously. In the evening, a police spokesman said it was life-threatening.
The exact background to the fact is not clear. However, the public prosecutor emphasized that there was nothing to indicate an extremist or terrorist motive. Belgian media said, without citing an exact source, that the suspect already had mental problems. According to the Public Ministry, this is being analyzed.
