Two police officers have been stabbed in Brussels in an incident that could be terror-related, prosecutors say. Belgium has been on high alert since 32 people were killed in suicide bomb attacks on the Brussels airport and metro on 22 March. The attack took place in Schaerbeek, a large, socially mixed district, where grand art nouveau mansions sit near scruffy 1960s-era housing and supermarkets. The latest attack took place less than a mile from the Brussels bombers’ hideout. In August two police officers were injured in the city of Charleroi in a machete attack claimed by Islamic State.
