The Brussels Prosecutor's Office is investigating a new attempted rape case that allegedly took place in the Brussels' Bois de la Cambre on the night of 21 to 22 November.

A young woman was allegedly harassed in the Bois de la Cambre on the night of 21 to 22 November, around 04:30, La Capitale reports. She had gone out at the Jeux d'Hiver nightclub and was allegedly attacked by a man on the way home.

"To guarantee the serenity of the investigation, the Prosecutor's Office will not comment further," said spokesperson Yasmina Vanoverschelde.
