According to BRFK (Budapest Police Headquarters), the man has been enjoying a defended status in Hungary since the summer of 2017.
They added that their special team lays big emphasis on controlling railway stations since they suspect that the man will try to escape to another country.
The police launched the investigation after the victim prosecuted the Afghan suspect.
