The man who hit Thierry Baudet on the head with an umbrella at Ghent University on Thursday evening has been released from custody. He will prosecuted for “intentional assault and battery,” a police spokesperson in the Belgian city told NOS.
Baudet was at the university to give a lecture to a far-right student organization. The police arrested the man immediately after he attacked Baudet and held him in custody until “long after the lecture,” the spokesperson said.
