Syrian man attacked crew in Budapest Airport

The man punched the crew of the airport with his fist, but the police immediately arrested him, and the court already expelled him from the country.

Many members of the crew were attacked and hit by a 25-year-old Syrian man on terminal number 2A after they did not let him through the crew passage last week, Index reported. 

According to the press department of the Hungarian National Police Headquarters (ORFK), the man wanted to pass through an area that is strictly forbidden for passengers and therefore protected by guards. Since they did not let the man enter the area, he got angry and attacked them. Shortly after, police officers arrived and arrested him.

Officers of the Airport Police Directorate interrogated and took him into custody because of committing grievous bodily injury as well as an affray. The ORFK added that they sent all relevant documents to the prosecution office, and the Syrian man was already tried on Monday.

The court expelled him from Hungary for four years.

This is not the first time that Hungarian news is about Syrian citizens. A 27-year-old man, Hassan F., who is alleged to have commanded an armed group of the Islamic State, was arrested in Hungary in March this year and now faces life imprisonment for being a member of the Islamic State terrorist organisation for which he allegedly carried out acts of terrorism and crimes against humanity.
