Knife-Wielding Man Arrested in Brussels

News summary

A knife-wielding man was arrested outside the Belgian prime minister's office in Brussels on Monday morning. The 29-year-old suspect, known to authorities for his mental health issues, attempted to enter the building while making incoherent threats against military police. He was subdued without incident, and no injuries were reported. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, who was not present during the event, expressed gratitude to the military police for their prompt response and was reportedly shocked by the incident. Authorities are conducting an investigation into the man's motives, which remain unclear, and he faces charges of attempted murder and unlawful possession of weapons. This incident follows a similar event in April, where the suspect attempted to attack a security guard at the U.S. embassy in Brussels.
