11-year-old lashes out with a folding knife at the police officer: 27 colleagues from the police station in Schaerbeek report sick in protest | Instagram VTM NEWS

In early November, police inspector Thomas Monjoie was killed in a knife attack while on duty in Schaerbeek. Last night another colleague was attacked with a knife. At around 11:30 p.m., officers encountered a minor boy in the Noordwijk who had run away from home. The underage perpetrator, according to our information an eleven-year-old boy, lashed out at the inspector with a folding knife in his hand. No one was injured in this. The boy was then released by the prosecutor’s office. “His situation will be monitored,” says Willemien Baert

27 colleagues have collectively decided not to go to work today out of dissatisfaction and frustration.
