Hungarian anti-terror police have been dispatched to a village near Budapest after a man killed four people with a sword. The killer injured three others and may have taken hostages after the attack on Friday morning.
The drama was unfolding in the village of Kulcs, about 37 miles south of the capital. Police said they had identified the killer and were preparing to publish his photo.
Anti-terror police, a rescue helicopter and three ambulances were dispatched to the village in Fejer county. Fejer police spokeswoman Agnes Szabo said, "We are after the perpetrator of a very serious, multiple homicide."
One TV station has reported the killings took place in a family home where seven people lived. The motive and circumstances were not clear, the channel said. |
