Police were called to the Walmart on Brookpark Road at about 2 p.m. for a reported theft Tuesday.

Officers found a homemade zip gun on Alexander Michalewicz, 44, and took him out of the store to a patrol car, according to the police department. Meanwhile, the second suspect, 35-year-old Britney Bullington, stayed in the loss prevention office with two store employees and an officer.

Police said Bullington told them she was pregnant so they handcuffed her in front of her body. According to police, she lunged at the officer’s gun and grabbed it with both hands. The store surveillance video shows the two fight over the weapon on the floor while the Walmart workers run from the office.

Bullington continued to fight and gouged the officer in the face multiple times, according to the police department. In the video, a second officer is seen forcing the office door open and subduing the woman.

The Brussels local transport company MIVB has confirmed the incident that happened as a train was about the stop at the platform. The images come from a security camera.

The train driver managed to stop just in time. Members of the public on the platform rushed to the woman’s assistance.

“The driver put on the brakes when he saw the woman on the track and stopped in time” says An Van hamme of the MIVB.

The perpetrator was not wearing the mandatory mask and was easy to identify. A 23-year-old Frenchman has been arrested and faces charges of attempted manslaughter. Prosecutors are investigating what exactly happened and hope to establish a motive and whether victim and perpetrator were known to each other, which is thought unlikely. The suspect is not believed to possess an address in Belgium. He has form in France. The victim is a 55-year-old woman.

Sarah Durant of the prosecutor's office described the driver stopping the train in time as an 'heroic deed'. Driver and victim were taken to hospital but both soon discharged.

The perpetrator fled the scene by crossing the track. His picture was disseminated and he could be arrested at the De Brouckère station within minutes.

The incident halted metro between Elisabeth and Kunst-Wet till 8:15PM.
