Knife Jihad at the Schuman Metro Station

On Monday night a culture-enricher went on a stabbing rampage at a Metro station in Brussels. (Jihad Watch has a useful report on the incident.)

During his attack the unfortunate youth is alleged by some witnesses to have cried “Allahu Akhbar”, which is Arabic for “I am known to the police and the medical profession as having a history of mental health issues.”

There has been no official announcement of the perpetrator’s name, but based on various media reports, his name is “Anwar H.”, so the attack evidently has a Mohammed Coefficient of 0%.

Attack at Schuman: The suspect was not known to any intelligence service

The man suspected of committing a knife attack on Monday evening at the Schuman Metro station in Brussels was not known to either the intelligence services or the Organ of Coordination and Threat Analysis (OCAM), Minister of Justice Vincent van Quickenborne told the [Parliamentary] Committee Wednesday. He was responding to a question from Katja Gabriëls.

His criminal record was clean. He had never been imprisoned, but had been admitted to psychiatric institutions several times.

Review of the facts

On Monday at around 5:45pm an individual armed with a knife wounded three persons on a Metro train that had arrived at Schuman station. He was neutralized a short time later in the station by several police officers. He is a 30-year-old man. The motive for his attack is not yet known, but at present nothing indicates he was motivated by a terrorism, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Murder attempt

After being overpowered and handcuffed by police, the individual was questioned Monday night. He was then brought before an investigating magistrate designated by the Brussels Prosecutor’s Office. The magistrate decided on Tuesday to place him under an order of arrest on the charge of attempted murder.

Three wounded

Three persons were victims of this attack, including a 25-year-old man who was gravely wounded and is still hospitalized, but whose life is no longer in danger. The two other victims — a 40-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman, both lightly wounded — have already been able to leave the hospital.

The translator adds this follow-up:

In addition, the Dutch-language paper Nieuwsblad IDs the perp as Anwar H. What’s interesting is that the Belgian media are being told there are no terrorist indications, the guy is crazy, etc., but English-language sources are quoting witnesses as hearing the “Allahu Akhbar” call.

One thought on “Knife Jihad at the Schuman Metro Station

  1. I can only hope that the alleged attacker was not injured in this event. I have often stumbled whilst carrying a knife and unfortunately those who came to my aid were injured during the mishap. (s)
