One person is dead and at least two are injured after a shooting outside a Turkish cafe in Antwerp, Belgium, according to reports.

Two people - said to be a father and son - have been arrested and a firearm has been seized, it was reported.

Police officers have cordoned off a large around around the scene of the shooting in Brederodestraat on Saturday afternoon.

It is said the victims were gunned down on a pavement outside the cafe, with two men shot first and a bystander being caught in the hail of bullets.

There have been tensions between Turkish and Kurdish communities in that neighbourhood of Antwerp, and a witness claims the shooting was related to an ongoing dispute between the two groups, VRT reported.

Reports claimed there was a disturbance at the cafe on Friday night.

Police have not yet revealed a suspected motive for the incident.

Footage shows heavily-armed police wearing masks and helmets at the scene.

Three people who were wounded in the shooting were rushed to hospital.

One later died of their injuries.

The two people who were arrested are father and son, HLN reported.

The victims' family members later arrived at the scene as police carried out an investigation.

In October 2017, about 10 people were injured and 41 were arrested after supporters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Turks living in Antwerp clashed in the same street as Saturday's shooting.

One man was stabbed and police had to use tear gas to break up the fighting.

Local media reported at the time that the brawl erupted when PKK supporters provoked the Turks.

The PKK has been listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and European Union.

The PKK has waged an insurgency in the mainly Kurdish southeast of Turkey since the 1980s.

More than 40,000 people have been killed in the violence.
