A man slashed a policewoman's face with a machete and shouted 'Allahu Akbar' before her fellow officer gunned him down.

The attacker reportedly walked up to two policewomen at the entrance of the police station in the Belgian city of Charleroi just before 4pm, pulled a machete from his bag and hacked at the officer.

He was then shot in the chest and leg by a fellow officer and later died.

The policewoman sustained deep cuts to the face and was rushed to hospital. Her colleague was only slightly injured.

A police spokesman told a press conference: "It's a sad thing. Our hearts go out to the two cops involved.

"Our thoughts also go out to the officer who had to pull her gun. For her this is not easy."

"For her this is not easy."

It should be easy, and easy to live with, for a civilized person to defend him/herself against being murdered. But good for her.
