A mechanic attacked by twenty people in Lokeren, a man loses his hand

The incident happened around midnight. The assailants then managed to flee. Around the same time, a man whose hand had been severed presented to the hospital. It looks like his hand was cut off with a sharp-edged iron bar. It quickly became apparent that the two incidents were linked. Four people were arrested: the mechanic and his brother, the man whose hand was cut off and the man who took him to the hospital. The prosecution seized an investigating judge to shed light on the facts. The cause of the incident has yet to be determined.
