Watch As A Belgian MP Is Assaulted In Broad Daylight By Immigrant Youths

A Brussels MP made a video showing how he was mistreated in broad daylight in Brussels by a number of young people. “I was assaulted, beaten, beaten, and almost robbed,” says Mathias Vanden Borre of the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA). The deputy was able to flee but was injured. Police confirm the story and investigate.

The incident happened yesterday around 5 p.m. in the district of Essegem, on the border of Jette and Laken. “I was visiting a photographer with my wife and seven-day-old son. When my wife and my son were still inside, I went for a walk, ”says Vanden Borre. The member lives nearby and knows the area.

“Suddenly six to seven young guys came after me. They started yelling at me, intimidating me. I picked up my phone and started filming. Then they got even closer. First I was kicked to the side and then a hit to the jaw. One of them tried to steal my phone. Then I started to walk.

Vanden Borre tried to flee, but the young people followed him. “Then I walked another 500 meters and called the police.” According to the deputy, they were already there after a few minutes with different units.

“My jaw is swollen and I suffer from ringing in the ears,” says Vanden Borre, who visited a doctor this afternoon and is unable to work for three days. He has no idea why the youngsters attacked him. “They came out of nowhere after me.”

A police spokesperson confirms that an investigation is underway. It is not known if the perpetrators have been arrested. “A policeman immediately recognized one of these guys in my footage. So I suspect they are known to the police, ”said Vanden Borre, who reported last night.
