During the night of Saturday to Sunday, a chase took place between the police of the Brussels-Midi area and an individual who did not want to respond to the injunctions of a control. There followed a real run between the police forces of four different areas and the fugitive. “The chase started on the side of Saint-Gilles, the individual would then have taken the ring to Halle, before joining the Hondzocht-Tubize exit “explains the mayor of Tubize, Michel Januth (PS).
Once in the center of Tubize, a dozen police cars tried to sandwich the fugitive. It was then that the latter collided with a car coming in the opposite direction. The two occupants of the vehicle involved were slightly injured. “ We were returning from a birthday party. Coming out of the roundregarding, we saw the car coming in the opposite direction at full speed with the police following it. Everything went very fast, I don’t remember the impact “tells us Charleyn Robbe, who was in the vehicle.
This one comes out with a broken coccyx and her boyfriend suffers from a broken hand. The suspect then fled on foot before being caught up a few meters further and being boarded.
According to one witness, “the individual would be an inhabitant of Tubize“. The mayor of the commune, meanwhile, replied “that he might neither affirm nor deny it at this stage of the investigation”.
On the side of the Brussels-Midi police zone, we confirm the facts: “The suspect was brought back to our premises to carry out the usual duties. As for the accident, the two injured people were able to leave the hospital. The western police zone was responsible for the road accident that took place on their territory.
