In reply to a question from Hungarian news agency MTI, the head of the Prime Minister’s Press Office Bertalan Havasi said that the hospital visit happened on Saturday afternoon.
In an interview for Hungarian M1 television on Tuesday, the Prime Minister said that he had instructed the Minister of Interior to “hunt down” and apprehend the perpetrator at all costs, and to find out the motives for his actions. “Whatever the motive, it was certainly a heinous crime; it would seem that the police officers were in fact the targets of the attack”, Mr. Orbán added.
