Belgian police shoot knife-wielding Afghan man

Police shot an Afghan man who lunged at them with a knife at the main railway station in the Belgian city of Ghent, but there are "no signs of terrorism," prosecutors said Wednesday. The 28-year-old who is now in hospital is likely to survive his wounds after the 8:30pm (1930 GMT) incident Tuesday, the Ghent prosecutor's spokeswoman An Schoonjans told AFP.
"There are no signs of radicalism or terrorism but there are a lot of signs the man has psychiatric problems," Schoonjans said. Investigators will interrogate him as soon as they can, she added.
