    As well as several hundred protesters in yellow vests demonstrating against social injustice there were also hooded people dressed in black, taunting authorities.

    Police on horseback patrolled the historic center and scuffles broke out in different areas. Authorities were seen detaining several people.

    Belgium is holding a general election on Sunday, and there are also elections across the European Union for the European Parliament. The EU headquarters is located close to where the scuffles occurred.
