A police officer has died after an attack in Belgium's capital, Brussels.
Another police officer was injured in the attack with a knife, as reported by the Belga news agency, citing the prosecutor on Thursday evening.
Several media reported that the attacker shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is great).
According to Belga, the public prosecutor's office could neither confirm nor deny this at the moment.
The officers who were attacked called for reinforcements.
A police officer who came to the rescue used his service weapon against the attacker.
Jihadists and Salafists often use the Arabic expression "Allahu Akbar" as a kind of rallying cry.
In fact, it is a central religious formula of Islam that has been used by Muslims worldwide for centuries.
