Police open internal probe after scooter chase video in Jette park
The footage circulated on social media three days ago, police say they cannot yet date it.
Police have opened an internal investigation after a video circulated online showing a police vehicle chasing two scooter riders through a park in Jette, north of Brussels.
The footage was posted on social media three days ago, but police say they cannot date it precisely at this stage. The incident appears to have taken place in daylight in the Park of the Youth in Jette, where both scooter riders and the patrol cut across the grass before reaching a path inside the park.
The video quality is too low to identify vehicle number plates. Still, viewers appear to be able to make out the logo of a canine brigade on the police vehicle. A police spokesperson for the Brussels-West zone said they are aware of the video and are conducting an internal investigation.
The park setting and the sequence of events have raised comparisons with an earlier fatal incident at the Park Elisabeth in Ganshoren on 2 June 2025, when an 11-year-old was fatally hit during a police motor patrol chase.
As of now, the internal probe remains ongoing, and police cannot confirm when any patrol linked to the video would have taken place.
