Two people were seriously injured after a violent brawl broke out at a wedding party in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean on Tuesday evening.
The incident occurred at around 23:30 on Tuesday at a community hall along the capital's canal when a large brawl broke out for a yet unknown reason.
Firearms and knives were used with two people having to be taken to hospital. One victim was stabbed in the back while the other was shot in the leg.
However, "their lives are not considered to be in danger,” said the spokesperson for Brussels Public Prosecutor’s Office Martin François.
An investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances that led to the wedding brawl as the prosecutors aim to identify the perpetrators.
