A knife-wielding mujahid was shot dead by police today in South London — more on that below. A few minutes later a knife-wielding attacker was shot and wounded in Ghent, an ancient walled city in eastern Flanders, the Dutch-speaking portion of Belgium.

The London perp was definitely a culture-enricher — he has been identified as Sudesh Amman. However, there’s no clear indication yet of any cultural enrichment in the articles about the stabbings in Ghent.

Shooting-stabbing in the Brugse Poort area

Bevrijdingslaan in Ghent closed after shooting incident

Ghent — The busy Bevrijdingslaan in Ghent was rocked Sunday afternoon by a shooting incident. What happened is not yet clear. The police are at the scene en masse.

What exactly happened Sunday afternoon around 1600 hours is still unclear. The police have closed off the street, but are giving no further information. “The investigation is in progress, and we will give a statement later,” says the public prosecutor. Though the prosecutor’s office is giving no further statement for the time being, it speaks of a “serious incident.”

The reason for the incident is still unclear. But the bystanders in the Koffieshop cafe on the corner of Notelaarstraat tell what they saw. According to them, a young man was being chased by the police. When the officers told the man to stop, he — according to witnesses — made stabbing motions around himself. Two bystanders were wounded in this manner. One of the victims was reportedly struck in the stomach. The police then reportedly shot the attacker in the hand.

The fire department set up a tent on the street to treat people. The Bevrijdingslaan is closed between Notelaarstraat and Virginiastraat.

Many of the articles about the attack in Ghent say the stabber was a woman. And, interestingly, RT reports that she is “dark-skinned”, citing the Dutch-language news service HLN:

Police shoot suspected stabber in Belgium — immediately after London attack

Police in the Belgian city of Ghent have shot and injured a knife-wielding woman, after she stabbed two people. The incident took place around an hour after a “terrorist” knifeman was shot dead by police in London.

According to Belgian news site HLN, a dark-skinned woman attacked two passers-by with a knife on the Bevrijdingslaan street in central Ghent. The woman reportedly stabbed one of her victims in the stomach…

Armed police officers neutralized the woman with a gunshot to the hand, and she was taken into custody.

Police have also reportedly arrested a man, who is said to have been involved in the incident.

Below is a report from The Express about the jihad attack in London:
