The unsettling video of the potentially infected young man, who is holding a beer, shows him remove his mask and starts licking and chewing on his fingers.
Then he grabs and strokes the pole in front of him, really making a point of wiping his phlegm all over it in the middle of the busy subway carriage.
The currently unnamed passenger was arrested by Belgian police on Saturday as the incident went viral.
The Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company, who run the Brussels metro, tweeted shortly after the event to reassure the Belgium public: "Our metros are cleaned every day.
"The man (intoxicated) was arrested by the police and our security service.
"The subway train was withdrawn from service to be disinfected."
