Knife man ‘shot after attacking soldiers’ in Brussels

From Sky News

State broadcaster RTBF reported the man had attacked two soldiers with a knife in Boulevard Emile Jacqmain.

Belgian prosecutors said the suspect was still alive, but in a critical condition.

RTBF reported the suspect was a Somali man who is alleged to have shouted “Allahu Akbar” before the attack.

A spokeswoman for the prosecution service said: “With the identity that we currently have it is a 30-year-old man who is not known for terrorist activities.” It added that the soldiers suffered slight injuries, one to the hand and the other to the face.
