Union Saint-Gilloise Forward Dragged From Car and Robbed in Brussels

Police opened a criminal investigation after video of the assault circulated.

Overview

  • Mohammed Fuseini, 24, was pulled from his car by at least five attackers after leaving the Bloody Louis nightclub early Sunday morning, and footage of the incident circulated in Belgian media.
  • Attackers restrained Fuseini while they searched his pockets and vehicle and took his mobile phone and a wristwatch that reports identify as a Rolex Datejust.
  • Belgian police and the public prosecutor have launched an active probe, and local reports say a suspect has been identified and arrested while inquiries into additional assailants and stolen items continue.
  • Union Saint-Gilloise said Fuseini was taken to hospital for checks, suffered only minor injuries, and returned to team training the following day.
  • The widely shared video shaped initial coverage and highlights security risks for high‑profile athletes, and observers will watch the investigation for further arrests and recovery of stolen property.
