45 people were detained by police in the Belgian capital on Saturday when rioting broke out following a fatal accident between a police vehicle and a young man on a scooter, authorities said.
Anderlecht mayor Fabrice Cumps told AFP that two police officers were lightly injured in Saturday's incidents, one hit by a projectile and another a victim of a malaise.
The mayor of Anderlecht stated that situation had calmed down by 6pm.
Belgium has been on lockdown for four weeks in an effort to stem the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.
Cumps said the police patrol that encountered the scooter driver was out enforcing the rules of the confinement, but said there was no known link with the lockdown.
