Amateur footage captured the dramatic moment Belgian police arrested a key suspect in the Paris and Brussels terror attacks.
Two armed police officers in plain clothes and balaclavas pin the man to the ground while another stands guard with his gun drawn.
The men then bundle the suspect into a silver car while bystanders including children walk past apparently oblivious as the drama unfolds.
The man is believed to be Mohamed Abrini, 31, who was being hunted over the terror strikes in Paris last November which killed 130 people, according to Belgian media.
He was caught by CCTV cameras at a petrol station with another key suspect, Salah Abdeslam, just two days before the attack.
Abrini is also thought to have played a major role in the deadly Brussels blasts on March 22 in which terrorists targeted Zaventem airport and the city’s Metro network.
Some reports suggested Abrini could be the “man in white” captured by security footage at the airport.
Abrini, who was arrested near the Brussels district of Molenbeek, was described on his international arrest warrant four months ago as 'dangerous and probably armed'.
His detention means that all of the people investigators believe planned or took part directly in the Paris attacks are either dead or in custody.
