Belgium - Two police officers in Brussels have been stabbed in a suspected terrorist attack, Belgian prosecutors have said.
According to reports, the knife-wielding man stabbed one officer in the neck and another in the stomach in the city's Schaerbeek area.
He fled the scene before being stopped by a second group of officers.
He broke the nose of a third policeman, who shot the man in the leg.
Police said the officers, who were wearing plain clothes, did not suffer any life-threatening injuries.
Eric Van Der Sypt, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor's office said: "We have reason to believe the incident was a terrorist attack."
Belgium has been on high alert after bombings in March killed 32 people at the city's airport and subway.
Earlier on Wednesday, the city's Gare du Nord railway station was closed for an hour because of a bomb alert.
Services resumed after bomb disposal teams had checked the area.
