BREAKING: Teen girl stabbed outside Budapest nightclub in shocking early-morning attack
A 15-year-old girl was seriously injured in a stabbing incident outside a central Budapest nightclub in the early hours of Saturday morning, sparking outrage on social media and raising concerns about public safety in the city.
Attack near Peaches & Cream
The attack took place near the Peaches & Cream club in Budapest’s VI district, Blikk reported. Footage circulating on TikTok shows emergency services at the scene, including police officers escorting a handcuffed individual into a patrol van. The identity of the suspect and their connection to the victim remain under investigation.
According to the National Ambulance Service, the young girl was taken to hospital with severe injuries to her chest. The Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK) confirmed that three people were detained in connection with the incident. Authorities have opened an investigation for attempted murder, with the Life Protection Department also examining whether any other offences occurred.
“Something like this should never happen in downtown Budapest”
The attack drew strong reactions online. One TikTok user who shared a video of the aftermath wrote: “Seriously, we are not safe anywhere… This morning, a girl was stabbed outside Peaches & Club. I’m tired. Sad. And scared that this is our reality. Take care of yourselves!”
The same user criticised both the local environment and the nightclub’s security measures, saying: “The area is not safe, and this reflects a failure in management. Something like this should never happen in downtown Budapest!”
Nightclub staff assisted emergency services
The nightclub itself emphasised on social media that the stabbing did not occur on its premises but in a nearby street. The staff assisted emergency services after closing time and contacted the authorities immediately. The venue stressed that it was not involved in the attack.
Police confirmed to Index that the incident occurred at approximately 4 AM and that all three detainees were brought in for questioning as authorities continue to establish the full circumstances.
This is the latest in a series of violent incidents in Budapest’s nightlife districts: at the end of November, a 25-year-old man was killed by another man:

I hope she makes a speedy and full recovery. Nothing justifies this kind of an attack.
Unpopular opinion, though: What the hell was a 15-year-old doing out at four o’clock in the morning, and in a seedy area at that?? Was she out with her parents’ knowledge and permission?? Fifteen year-olds are still children and should be treated as such by their parents.
