At least 100 people gathered in a landmark square in downtown Brussels and conducted sabotage Wednesday afternoon before the police intervention.

It is still uncertain as to what triggered the the disruptions, but reports suggest a group identity check by the police could make the incident spiraled out of control.

Traffic around the area was partially affected.

By 17:00 p.m. local time, chaos was largely abated and police secured the area.
