While initial details are sparse, one day after yesterday's gruesome car attack on Westminster Bridge allegedly by a "soldier of ISIS", it appears another Jihadist "copycat" attack was attempted, this time in Antwerp, Belgium where a car tried to enter a shopping street at high speed on Thursday, but the potentially deadly attack was prevented by Belgium police which detained the driver.

As AFP adds, the Belgian police on Thursday discovered a car containing arms and illegal material in the city of Antwerp and cordoned off a parking area where the car was stopped, local media reported. The car, registered in France, seemed to have been chased down after it tried to run a red light, according to La Libre news outlet.

Bart De Wever, the city's mayor, is reportedly expected to hold a press conference where he will announce that an attack has been thwarted. According to media reports, the car was trying to hit pedestrians. Demining teams have reportedly been summoned to the parking.
