Schearbeek (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – An Algerian man rammed a police car on Saturday morning, Nov 8, 2025, in Schaerbeek. The driver, staying illegally and without a license, was arrested. Brussels prosecutors confirmed the incident, and the investigation continues.

As GVA News reported, a man rammed a police car on Saturday morning, Nov 8, 2025, in Schaerbeek, a municipality in the Brussels Capital Region, Belgium, during a police check. The incident took place on Brabantstraat when a patrol tried to check a driver travelling just ahead of them. As the officers got out of their van, the driver deliberately drove into the side of the police car.
