Shortly before 3:00 p.m., a vehicle coming from the Netherlands refused to submit to a police check in Stabroek on the A12. The police chased the suspect.
The driver then took the Antwerp ring in the opposite direction and caused an accident near Antwerp-North, towards the Netherlands. He then fled on foot but was apprehended. An investigation will have to determine why he avoided the first police check at all costs. The accident as such caused no casualties, but an Antwerp policeman was slightly injured in the pursuit.
