Bus and tram lines shut down across the city and metro trains were cripplingly overloaded as the strike took hold at 6.30am .

Nobody was injured in the attack, the Belga news agency reported.Safety on public transport has been a recurrent theme in the Belgian media in recent months, with a string of attacks reported on both passengers and staff.

Video of a violent robbery in the Brussels metro

Extremely violent robbery in Brussels metro at the end of April. The victim is brain dead and not expected to recover. There was quite a bit of controversy for broadcasting this image on the Flemish news.

On the camera images you can see youths making the man fall. The victim, 48-year old Daniel Fonteyn, is kicked several times in the face. One of the youth runs away, the others kick the victim until he doesn't react anymore. Then one of the them takes the man's wallet. One of them drags the man to the middle of the corridor. He keeps kicking the victim's body. Then he jumps on the man's back. The youths in the background watch but don't do anything. They see how their accomplice keeps kicking. For a while it seems that the attacker leaves but then he returns and kicks the victim again and again.
