Belgian police fired water cannon to disperse a large group of demonstrators who stormed a central Brussels square.
They invaded the Place de la Bourse as people paid tribute at a makeshift memorial for victims of last Tuesday’s deadly attacks. Riot police intervened to try to restore order after the group confronted Muslim women in the crowds, made Nazi salutes and chanted.
The attacks at Brussels airport and on the metro killed 31 people. A “march against fear” planned for Sunday was called off after the authorities said it would strain police resources for the investigation. Belgian police also carried out 13 new raids and took more people in for questioning on Sunday as part of investigations into the attacks.
