Two separate violent incidents occurred overnight at the Ghent Festivities (a major annual street festival in Ghent, Belgium), both near the Sint-Michielsbrug bridge. In the first, a person suffered stab wounds and was hospitalised, though was discharged the same day, with police identifying three of the four suspects involved. Hours later, a second brawl broke out at the same location in which four individuals attacked one man, leaving him injured but not in critical condition — all four assailants were arrested, including two minors who will appear before a youth court.
