A brave airport worker at Brussels airport has described how he heroically pulled several badly injured victims to safety after two blasts tore through the inside of the terminal.

Alphonse Youla was working on a stand putting security wrapping around suitcases, when he heard shouts in Arabic and a deadly explosion.

"I heard a man shout some Arabic words then an explosion.. then a second explosion, a massive explosion, much bigger."

Alphonse raced out and managed to help assist two elderly and injured people: "Two old people who came towards me.I saved them. I put them in the lift but they didn't want to let go of me but I couldn't take them with me. There were too many people there."

"It was a horror. I saw at least seven people dead. There was blood. People had lost legs. You could see their bodies but no legs," he said.

At least 35 people have been killed and many more have been left injured after a series of bombs blasted inside an airport terminal and Metro station.

It has been reported that at least one of the bombs at Brussels Airport contained nails.
