Peter’s question was when could he go to work.

The police officer, who arrived late to Újpest, was awakened from deep anesthesia and is fine compared to the circumstances, BRFK shared on Facebook. According to the post, Peter’s first question was when he could go to work.

His partner, Erika, had been sent home hours earlier, but hadn’t left the hospital until Peter recovered.

On Thursday morning, a 26-year-old policeman, an assailant, a 35-year-old man from the Iglesia Sur and his patrol partner were shot dead in Újpest. The assaulted police officer was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries where he underwent surgery.

The attacker died at the scene, according to Blikk, the other policeman fired ten shots, five of which were hit by the man. The 23-year-old sergeant who fired the shots was not physically injured, but police reported he was in shock, so he was taken to the hospital for observation.
