A man pulled out a knife Thursday morning in the town hall of Ypres (West Flanders), which led to the closure of the building as well as its evacuation, local police said. The police are present in droves.
The man pulled out a knife in the reception area of City Hall. According to the police, the individual would point the knife at himself and act very emotionally. “No one is allowed to enter the building until the man has been neutralized,” police said.
This week, the municipality of Ypres had made a lot of talk regarding it. In question: a festival, the “Frontnacht”, which was canceled because of the links that exist with neo-Nazism and neo-fascism. The “Frontnacht” festival which had planned to welcome far-right artists is canceled.
