A disturbing video showing Ghanaian footballer Mohammed Fuseini being violently pulled from his vehicle during a daylight robbery in Brussels has triggered widespread concern online.
The 24-year-old Union Saint-Gilloise attacker was reportedly sitting inside his parked car on Sunday, July 26, 2026, when five hooded men surrounded the vehicle. Footage circulating across social media shows three members of the group dragging him from the driver’s seat before restraining him in a chokehold.
The attackers wrestled Fuseini to the ground as others searched his vehicle and removed valuables. Belgian and Ghanaian media reported that the group escaped with his mobile phones, wallet and a Rolex Datejust wristwatch reportedly valued between €8,000 and €14,000.
The shocking scene has unsettled football supporters, with many expressing relief that the encounter did not result in more serious physical harm. Fuseini was taken to hospital for medical assessment after the attack and was later discharged.
Despite the traumatic experience, the Ghana international returned to Union Saint-Gilloise’s preseason training on Monday. A club spokesperson confirmed that his physical injuries were limited, although the frightening incident had understandably affected him emotionally.
Watch the video below:
Belgian authorities have since arrested one suspect in connection with the robbery. Police reportedly recovered several stolen items during a search of the suspect’s residence, and he has been charged with violent robbery committed as part of a group. Investigators are also examining whether the attackers were involved in other robberies recorded in Brussels on the same day.
Fuseini, who plays as a winger for Union Saint-Gilloise and the Black Stars, has become an important figure at the Belgian club since joining in 2024. His safe return to training has therefore brought enormous relief to his teammates, supporters and Ghanaians following the case.
The viral footage remains a frightening reminder of how quickly an ordinary moment can become a fight for survival—even for a prominent professional footballer.
