Guests at Brussels’ Radisson Blu hotel are surrounded by soldiers in military fatigue, who’ve warned there is a “real threat” of terrorism.

It follows the arrest of six Brits in Belgium who were stopped in three old ambulances by a convoy of armoured trucks and a police car.

And it is only days after ISIS jihadists slaughtered 130 people in Paris during a wave of terror attacks.

Journalist and cameraman Stuart Webb chronicled the unfolding scene in a series of tweets.

He wrote: "The security advice to stay inside appears to be for the area here – not the hotel specifically.

"Soldiers and staff advised us not to leave the hotel - but being journalists we needed to to news gather and they have allowed us to."

Mr Webb said the area around the hotel was abandoned and that the Grand Place – the heart of the Belgian capital – was "very quiet".

Another Twitter account said the Grand Place was also on lock down, along with the central station and the Radson Hotel.

A spokesperson for the hotel told Brussels-based newspaper De Morgen: "There is no imminent threat, but we want our guests to keep as safe as possible."

Another newspaper, Le Soir, said that several streets had been closed by police, with some reports stating cops were shouting at people to get back.

Prime Minister Charles Michel said today that the terror alert paralysing the nation would remain at its highest level – meaning a "serious and imminent" threat of attacks.

And he said the atrocity could even be another Paris-like attack, with jihadists striking "even perhaps at several locations".

He also commanded that the state of emergency continue into the week, with Brussels schools and subway system remaining closed on Monday.
