A knifeman has been shot after stabbing a police officer 'while shouting "Allahu Akbar"' near the Grand Place in Brussels' historic centre.
The attacker struck outside the Belgian capital's central police station at 5.30am in before a colleague retaliated with gunfire.
Local media say the stabbing was an apparent Islamist militant attack amid reports the suspect cried 'Allahu Akbar' (God is Greatest).
The victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries while the attacker was seriously injured.
The attack took place on the second day of a state visit to Belgium by French President Emmanuel Macron with memories of the Paris and Brussels attacks running high. Later today, Macron visits the Brussels district of Molenbeek, home of ISIS jihadists who carried out the 2015 Paris attacks that left 130 people dead.

Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said the early morning incident was a 'cowardly act against our policemen'.
Police spokeswoman Ilse van de Keere told AFP a police officer was 'stabbed and slightly wounded' and taken to hospital.
'His colleagues retaliated by firing shots at the attacker who was subdued' but whose life is not in danger.
The spokeswoman refused to confirm a local media report that the attacker had shouted 'Allahu Akbar'.
Justice Minister Koen Geens said investigators were looking at all possible motivations including links to extremist groups but there were no clear indications as yet.
Belgium, home to European Union institutions and NATO, has been on alert since suicide bombers killed 32 people at Brussels airport and on the city's metro in 2016, although the national threat level was reduced to two from three on a four-point scale in January.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
