New incidents broke out in the center of Brussels and in the Marollenwijk neighborhood Tuesday night from 8:30 pm. About 30 young men were administratively detained by the police. They threw stones at the police and towards passersby. Car windows were smashed and cars were set afire. Fire was set to a youth center. The men prevented the fire brigade from putting out the fire and stole the keys of the fire trucks.
Two Molotov cocktails were thrown at the Saint Peters hospital (Sint-Pietersziekenhuis). The fire brigade managed to get the resulting fire quickly under control, but also there the keys of the emergency services vehicles were stolen.
