A 54-year-old shopkeeper died after being severely assaulted while intervening to defend a woman who was allegedly subjected to racist and Islamophobic abuse on a tram in the Belgian capital, according to French-language broadcaster RTBF.
Driss Atouane, who managed a supermarket in the Schaerbeek district, intervened after a man allegedly directed racist and anti-Muslim remarks at a woman, RTBF reported.
The suspect then allegedly turned on Atouane, repeatedly striking him in what local media described as an exceptionally violent assault.
