Man who stabbed a police officer turns out to be under influence
Ambulance and police cars swarmed to Újpest in the Morning of Christmas Eve after a man stabbed one of the two police officers.
According to Blikk, the whole street feared the 35 year-old-man, Péter M. In the morning of Christmas Eve he attacked a police officer with a 25 cm long bayonet in Újpest. The officer got hurt, and the other officer took the man down.
According to people who know Péter, it is possible that he was taking so many drugs that he did not find his way home. Then he kept knocking on someone else’s door. Péter immediately attacked the police officers – he stabbed one of them, Péter (26), and the other one, Erika (23), shot him twice.
Even after being shot, the man went after the police officer to the next floor and then received a deadly shot.
The man lived in a small, decent street in Délegyháza with his son and partner, but as he was taking drugs regularly, his partner told him to leave. The man then moved back to his mother in Újpest but visited his son regularly.
A woman living in the same street told Blikk: “Luckily, he does not live in Délegyháza anymore, we could not handle him. One time he was smiling, and at another, he was aggressive. We were rooting for the woman to make him go because he destroyed both her and the child’ life. Besides taking drugs, he has also joined a sect recently and was saying he will take the child there, away from Covid. But of course, the mother was smart enough and did not let him.”
Péter’s ex-partner told the newspaper that he was not a bad person. Even though they have not been living together for three years, the woman was very much shocked by Péter’s actions, as she did not know him like that.
Addictologist, Sándor Funk said, he thinks it is impossible that a disturbed state of mind itself would make one commit such a crime, and that there are indeed certain substances that can turn one aggressive.
Since the accident, many people have been supporting the hurt police officer. He wrote a message through Facebook: “I am grateful for all the support, due to my current state it is difficult even to read the good wishes, and I cannot answer everyone at the moment, but I will. Considering the circumstances, I am doing well, I could take some steps already with some help, but many pipes in my body stop me. My dad told me how many people are worried for me, for which I am very grateful, and I am trying to draw strength from it.”
