Why Manneken Pis is carrying number 112
Manneken Pis, Brussels' famous peeing boy statue, is wearing a special costume today to honour emergency service workers.
It was Interior Minister Pieter De Crem (Christian democrat) who unveiled the statue around 9 this morning.
112 is the general European emergency number. It's free and it's available 24/7 if you want an ambulance or help from firefighters.
Today is the European day for the number 112. The Brussels initiative was taken to honour all emergency workers.
