From the BBC:
Police in Brussels have surrounded a man who was behaving suspiciously and wearing "a long coat with protruding wires", Belgian media report.
A large police operation is underway near Place de la Monnaie in the centre of the Belgian capital. The bomb squad is present.
Shops nearby have been evacuated and several streets are closed. Photos from the scene show a man kneeling with his hands up, while police point their guns at him.
Police say that they have the suspect "under control" but have not yet arrested him. The incident comes a day ahead of Belgium's National Day, with heightened security in Brussels for the festivities.

Yesterday, next door in France...a “deranged” man who was barricaded in a hotel in France. The event is now being represented as an individual trying to skip out on paying his hotel bill. “Following negotiations with police, the man gave himself up, it added, citing an official.”
“The Intervention Group of the National Gendarmerie (GIGN) arrested the man, local authorities said, adding that an investigation has been launched.”

"...Prosecutors said J.B., who had recently informed police that he had been enlisted to join the Islamic State extremist group in Syria, was known to police and is thought to have had psychiatric problems. He has been remanded in custody over the hoax and a psychological assessment has been ordered."...
