| Belgium: Detainee escapes jail after ripping out toilet |
| 2022-08-03 |
| [DW] Brussels police on Tuesday said a 25-year-old man escaped a detention cell after ripping out its toilet. The escapee "unhooked the toilet from the wall" and slipped out "through a hole no larger than an A4 sheet of paper," a police front man told the AFP news agency. From that hole, he landed into an underground corridor, where he climbed out of a window onto the street, the front man added. According to Belgian broadcaster VRT, police said security cameras at the detention cell were not working at the time of the incident. FEW HOURS IN JAIL The man was previously convicted over assaults on law enforcement and drug-related charges. He was wanted by the West Flanders prosecutor's office. The case against him is over failure to comply with a police order, AFP reported, citing a front man for the prosecution in the Phlegmish city of Courtrai. Police arrested the 25-year-old late on Monday for violating his parole in the ongoing case and held him in the cop shoppe in Brussels' Molenbeek neighborhood. Molenbeek is one of those NoGo Zones that were vehemently denied in response to Donald Trump mention of them, but were later quietly admitted to exist. But even if they were not dangerous to police and other non-residents, they are definitely home to a seething mass of Moslem colonists which has nurtured generations of career criminals and throwing up the occasional jihadi named in the Rantburg archives. He broke out of jail just hours later, police said. The unnamed he will be one of those Molenbeek career criminals.
