At least three people have been killed in a knife attack at a creche in north-western Belgium, officials say.

The Belgian interior ministry said two children and one adult died after a man attacked people at the creche in Dendermonde, north-west of Brussels.

The ministry said the assailant had now been arrested.

There have been conflicting reports of the number of victims at the creche. It is thought at least 10 people have been injured in the attack.

Peter Cleymans, of the Dendermonde Ambulance Centre, told Reuters by telephone that a number of people were hurt.

"Ten, 15, 20 are injured, I don't know," he said.

Flemish TV station VTM had earlier reported three children and two adults had died, but the interior ministry have confirmed only three deaths in total.

Local authorities have put a disaster plan in place, and children have been evacuated from the creche to a nearby reception centre.

Since we can not possibly get rid of all weapons, why not get rid of all insane, murderous people?

Lots of media are reporting the attacker’s face “was painted black and white”. Whatever that means....

Supposedly this was a recently released psych patient, not a member of the Religion of Peace (TM).

Really? Armed staff at the creche couldn't have prevented this or mitigated it somewhat?

shure armed stuff could have prevented this but in all
seriousness who would really arm himself if your job is to
care about baybies and little kids? i mean who in this world would have thought that a lunatic will do this?
