Belgian police have used a water cannon to control hundreds of protesters in central Brussels after they ignored an official call to postpone marches following last week's bomb attacks.
About 400 protesters burst onto the square outside the Brussels stock exchange building, where they confronted Muslim women in a crowd of mourners and made Nazi salutes.
The Place de la Bourse in central Brussels has become a makeshift memorial for those killed in last week's bombings that left 34 people dead and hundreds more injured.
Wreaths, flowers and messages of peace take up most of the space.
And Belgians of all faiths had once again gathered there in silent reflection before it was shattered by hundreds of slogan-chanting and banner-carrying protesters.
Described by officials as nationalists and football hooligans, their main focus was on condemning the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or IS.
But mourners began to intervene when members of the group became increasingly hostile, trampling the memorial and singling out Muslim women in the crowds.
French comedian Samia Orosemane arrived soon after police began closing off the area.
(Translated) "There were riot police that were blocking the way, and there were lots of men who were here and doing the Nazi salute, shouting 'Death to Arabs,' and so we weren't able to go through. Fifteen to 20 minutes later, everything was evacuated."
Senior officials had urged people to call off any marches to avoid putting further strain on Brussels' overworked police force.
Nevertheless, the riot squad eventually moved in with a water cannon, which sent the protesters scurrying.
Brussels police commissioner Christian De Coninck says the crowd included football hooligans who had travelled to the capital from other cities.
"Lots of families with kids were here, and we had some difficulties to confine those hooligans. But in the end, we could confine them, and we guided them back to the train station so that they could get their trains. Ten, I think, hooligans were arrested. We have two police officers slightly injured -- one on the hand, one on the shoulder -- and the perpetrator for those injuries is arrested."
As mourners began restoring parts of the memorial, many expressed disbelief at what they had just seen.
"I'm really shocked that a place of mourning, of showing respect ... And those are racists. I assume they're football hooligans. And hooligans, they don't have to show up here."
(Translated)"We are all here today for peace, and for the brotherhood among peoples, not for right-wing ideas. It's neither the time nor the place."
A short distance away, worshippers gathered at Brussels cathedral to mark Easter Sunday.
Brussels Archbishop Jozef De Kesel, who led the mass, says last week's attacks in the city are worse than criminal.
(Translated)"They attacked the very foundations of our society. Its beauty is that we all live together."
As world leaders continue to condemn IS, which has claimed responsibility for the attacks, the group has released a video showing a Belgian militant taunting his homeland.
Last year, Hicham Chaib had been sentenced in absentia to 15 years in jail for his role in a group calling itself Sharia4Belgium.
He now claims to be staying in the Syrian city of Raqqa.
(Translated)"You have learned nothing from the lessons of Paris, because you are fighting Islam and Muslims. The Brussels attacks are the harvest of what you sow with your own hands. As you bomb Muslims with F-16 planes, we will kill your people."
Belgian authorities have carried out 13 new raids, but there has also been plenty of activity elsewhere on the continent.
Italian police have arrested an Algerian man on suspicion of providing false identity papers to those involved in both the bombings in Brussels and last year's attacks in Paris.
Meanwhile, Dutch police have arrested a man in Rotterdam suspected of preparing another attack on France.
He will also be extradited.
And three other people have been detained.
