Drug Gang Clash in Ghent: Tunisian Traffickers and Moroccan Youths Arrested

According to the Belgian media, three people were arrested by the police, who came in force to put an end to the conflict.

A police spokesman said the fight had broken out in a night shop. No injuries were recorded.

"Young people surprised the traffickers in the street. They called the police and the traffickers tried to flee, before hiding in the night shop. [...] It was the Tunisians who wanted to take revenge. [...] They even had butcher’s knives," recounts a witness.

An hour later, a man was slightly injured in another fight, a few meters from the site of the first altercation. For now, the police have not confirmed any link between the two incidents.
