Belgian police soaked partygoers with water cannon after they refused to leave the site of an April Fools 'festival' in Brussels on 1 April.

Thousands of people gathered in Bois de la Cambre in Brussels in defiance of lockdown, for a 'festival' advertised on social media, whose organisers said in advance was a made-up April Fools prank.

The authorities also pointed this out and asked people not to attend, but thousands did nonetheless, and some of those turned confrontational when the police tried to disperse them.

Several police were injured and a number of people were arrested.
