A few days earlier, the man had been placed in a cell at the regional airport as a result of his behavior and subdued by federal police officers. A judicial investigation has been opened and is still ongoing.
The violence of the intervention and the attitude of several police officers revealed in the press on Wednesday sparked a wave of indignation and led to the withdrawal of number 2 of the federal police, André Desenfants, in charge of the airport police.
Several politicians demanded explanations.
New images
Amateur images were sent to the Flemish channel VTM. These were filmed by a witness, who was on a plane to Bratislava.
“A man got on the plane. He seemed quite aggressive and sat in the front row. Directly, two stewards arrived near him. They discussed for about ten minutes until the man finally came down, ”explains the witness to our colleagues.
The police were then waiting for Jozef Schovanek on the tarmac: “He suddenly started running to get away. But after 50 meters, he came back to the police in complete confusion. The agents were unable to maintain it, ”he adds.
