During the night of Wednesday to Thursday, a federal police inspector arrested a truck driver whose truck was badly parked in the parking lot of a motorway rest area along the E40, near Wetteren.
The truck driver, a Bulgarian, was aggressive and the police asked him for his papers. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, that’s when the man lost his mind. He violently attacked the policewoman and her colleague. During the altercation, the inspector’s head got stuck in the door of the truck. She was taken to the hospital, seriously injured.
The truck driver, who was under the influence of alcohol, was arrested and brought before an investigating judge.
