More than 400 people were detained in an unauthorized "Yellow Vests" rally in Brussels on Saturday, according to the city's prosecutor's office.

​​"We are all here in the same place, like cattle, without any information," one of the detained protesters said, as quoted by the Sudinfo news website.

​The protest in Belgium followed weeks of similar "Yellow Vests" demonstrations against fuel tax hikes raging in France since November 17.
