Named by media as Hicham Diop, he was then shot in the leg and taken to hospital.
Belgian media said Diop was a former soldier who may have had a grudge against the police after being hit accidentally by a police car in 2011.
His brother Aboubaker D, a Belgian born in 1970, was detained on Thursday afternoon.
