Belgium: suspect escapes from police station after breaking toilet

A 25-year-old man arrested in a case of rebellion against the police managed to escape from a police station in Brussels after breaking the toilet bowl in his cell, investigators said on Tuesday.

The facts occurred on the night of Monday to Tuesday at the police station of the Brussels municipality of Molenbeek, a few hours after the arrest of this suspect in the Belgian capital at the request of the Kortrijk prosecutor’s office, in the west of the country.

Taking advantage of the absence of video surveillance in his cell, because “the camera was defective”, the suspect “unhooked the toilet bowl from the wall.”

He escaped through “a hole the size of an A4 sheet”, explained to AFP a spokesman for the police zone.

He then found himself in a corridor in the basement and then passed through a window to access the street, deceiving the vigilance of the police officers on duty at the main door of the police station, according to the same source.
