Mohammed Fuseini assaulted in violent Brussels robbery

Mohammed Fuseini violent robbery Brussels Union Saint‑Gilloise Rolex theft

On a Sunday morning in Brussels, five masked men forced Union Saint‑Gilloise forward Mohammed Fuseini out of his parked car, immobilised him and stole his smartphone and a Rolex Datejust valued between €8,000 and €14,000. The 24‑year‑old Ghanaian striker suffered only minor injuries and was taken to hospital for precautionary checks. He returned to team training the following day.

The Brussels public prosecutor opened a robbery‑with‑violence investigation. Police have arrested one suspect and recovered some of the stolen items from his home. The club condemned the “shocking” footage and thanked the Brussels police for their swift response. The incident has sparked renewed discussion about security in the city, which hosts many EU institutions.
