Police opened fire after being ambushed by armed migrants trying to head from Belgium to Britain.
The clash puts the spotlight on a potentially major new backdoor into the UK as security is tightened at Calais – the most popular illegal route to the UK.
It came after officers outside Brussels spotted five men trying to enter a lorry at 2am yesterday.
The migrants fled, only for a gang of 15 to return armed with wooden poles to attack the six officers.
As the situation escalated at Groot-Bijgaarden lorry park, police were surrounded by 40 migrants. One officer fired a warning shot after two others were hit with weapons.
