Meanwhile, the suspect vanished soon after the incident. However, he was arrested afterward at another metro station and has been charged with attempted homicide, according to the Brussels' public prosecutor's office.

"The driver reacted very well but is very much so in shock, as is the victim," Guy Sablon, spokesperson for the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company, told The Brussels Times.

The woman along with the metro driver was taken to the hospital and asked to return home soon, according to the report. 

The police have initiated a probe into the incident to determine the suspect's motives. A psychiatrist has also been appointed to verify his condition.

The relatives of the suspect with attempted murder have said that he “urgently needs to address his (mental health) problems”, according to The Brussel Times.
