Riot police was called in and used water canons in order to disperse the hooligan demonstrators who had burst in during a peaceful gathering the Grand Place in Brussels, transformed into a peace memorial after Brussels terror attacks.

Nonetheless, a major controversy is being raises after the peaceful protester noted the police took measures only after a very long while.

'We're hooligans','This is our home', chanted the demonstrators, dressed in black, in Brussels financial centre, where a 'march against fear' due on Sunday had been cancelled, as requested by Brussels authorities that had invoked the state of heightened terror alert.

Others in the square, including some Muslims and migrants, proceeded to provoke the “hooligans” by chanting back: “Fascists! Fascists! We’re not having it!”

There were small clashes between the two groups, which primarily consisted of pushing, shoving and throwing insults.

Riot police with helmets and shields quickly corralled the hooligans before dispersing them with high power water jets, and marshalling them onto trains out of the city, AFP journalists witnessed. Ten arrests were made.
