(CNN) -- Two children and one adult were killed Friday in a stabbing attack at a nursery school in Belgium, officials said.

Police cordon off a street in the Belgian town of Dendermonde following an attack on a local nursery.

Ten children and two adults were being treated in the hospital after the attack, the Interior Ministry said. It was unclear whether all of them suffered stab wounds.

The attacker entered the day care center in Dendermonde, about 16 miles northwest of Brussels, around 10 a.m. (4 a.m. ET) and began stabbing children and staff, the ministry said.

Local journalist Bart Bekaert told CNN that three of those in hospital were in a critical condition. One child died at the scene while the other died later in hospital.

The attacker's face was painted black and white, Bekaert said.

"Witnesses say he looked calm. There was no security and he just walked straight in," he added.

The incident occurred in in Dendermonde, a town about 16 miles northwest of the Belgian capital, Brussels. The man was arrested an hour and a half afterwards, according to the Interior Ministry.

I might get bashed for saying this but you have to feel sorry for the guy that did this. He is sick. I hope he at least gets put away in a mental institution so he can get some real help.

That is so tragic. I don't understand what drives people to attack or kill, especially innocent children.

Those children will be tramuatized by what they witnessed. I will keep them and their families in my prayers.
