According to Reuters, the incident drew prosecutors from Belgian counter terror, which has raised concern that the knife-wielding individual is associated with militants.
Both officers are said to be doing fine, one having sustained a non-life threatening wound to the neck and the other to the stomach.
Another member of law enforcement suffered a broken nose.
According to the BBC, the assailant was shot in the leg.
The Telegraph reports that only hours before the attack, authorities in Brussels responded to a bomb scare at the Brussels Nord train station, but nothing suspicious was found.
