Moustapha Hassan as the 33-year-old African national had his eyes
removed in an attack in Brussels, on Sunday, November 6th, according
to local media report.
The man was taken to a hospital after an eyewitness called police, but
his assailant fled, and their identity and motive are still unknown.
The man was found with his face covered in blood lying in the street
in Brussels' Ixelles neighborhood at around 3am on Sunday, local news
outlet Derniere heure reports.
A passerby saw the injured man and notified the emergency services and
police. When they arrived, they realized that the man's eyes had been
torn out. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition, but it's
been reported that he has survived his injuries.
The victim's eyes were discovered right next to where he was found by
officers examining the crime scene a little later. Police have
launched an investigation into the case, but as yet are unable to say
just how or why the barbaric act was committed.
"It is no accident, of course," said Ine Van Wymersch, a spokesman for
the Brussels public prosecutor in Het Niewsblad."
"As of Sunday afternoon, no suspect was arrested. Nor do we know how
the eyes were removed. The man is out of danger, but will have to
undergo several operations before he can give testimony."Unconfirmed
sources claims that the attack could have been a settling of scores
between members of rival African gangs.
