Brussels Central Station Is Evacuated
Brussels Central station was evacuated Tuesday amid reports of an explosion and at least one man shot who shouted "Allahu Akbar," prompting the evacuation of a main square, according to local media reports, Foxnews reports.
The spokesman for the Federal Police, Peter Dewael, told VTM News someone caused an explosion at the train station.
Soliders at the train station opened fire on the man, but the situation now is "under control."
Brussels police said on Twitter there was an incident "involving a private person," but the situation was "under control."
NMBS, the National Railway Company of Belgium, said on Twitter the station was "indeed evacuated," adding there was "no exact information about what is happening at the moment."
A witness to the incident, Rémy Bonnaffé, told Fox News he heard two loud bangs like an explosion at the station.
