BRUSSELS - Cops attacked during ID control

BRUSSELS – Around 17h, police was attacked by tens of youngsters while they were making an identity control in the metro station of Aumalle in Anderlecht. They threw stones and objects to the cops. Cops had to flee the area.
In the night, cops were called to the same area for ‘loud neighbours’. Arriving on the spot, they founded the entrance of the subway station Aumalle put on fire with Molotov cocktails. In a park close to it, they found another ten Molotovs and stones. Cops left their vehicle further from to spot because they were expecting a trap, which seems to have been the case.
Cops claim to have been targeted the last month at least four times. Each time, they were called while the youngsters made a trap (for example by putting oil or gasoline on the road).
