An indictment was brought against a Pest County man who wanted to escape his criminal surveillance by trying to kill police officers accompanying him in January, the head of the Central Investigation Prosecutor’s Office said.

In his statement, Imre Keresztes wrote that the 35-year-old was determined to escape, so

He called the police and told them that he was injured and therefore needed hospital care. He then took a knife and about a million florins and, after receiving medical attention, he squeezed the policeman who was riding next to him in the back seat of the police car to the door and stabbed him twice in the neck.

The policeman driving the car turned around and grabbed the defendant’s hand, who, freeing himself from the grip, cut off the driver’s fingers. He also wanted to stab him in the neck, but the policeman moved, so only the right side of his face was injured. Meanwhile, a policeman pressed against the door drew his gun, which the man tried to take from him, but was unsuccessful. The police officer got out of the car and called the man with a loaded pistol in the barrel to stop his action.

The accused, who did not testify during the investigation, was indicted by the Budapest Regional Investigation Prosecutor’s Office for first-degree murder and violence against an official and several persons. He also proposed that the court sentence him to life in prison and declare that he could be paroled at the earliest after 35 years of service, according to the statement.
