Police say that the man strolled out of the airport just before the blasts, having left a large bag behind.

Surveillance video then shows him going “past the Sheraton, turn[ing] right onto the parking lot, and out of the airport site.”

The suspect left the airport at 8:50 am local time, and by 9:50 am his car had disappeared at a rue du Noyer intersection in central Brussels.

The man got rid of his jacket, and police are urging the public to come forward it is found.
