A man has been charged with attempted murder by the Pest County Chief Prosecutor’s Office after he slashed the throat of the man who sexually harassed his daughter at the Kerepes HÉV station. The harasser faces charges of indecent assault and disorderly conduct.
In February 2024, the daughter was travelling by HÉV from Budapest to Kerepes. During the journey, a member of a drunken group made lewd comments to her and stroked her leg while licking his lips. Outraged, the girl told the man to leave her alone and threatened to call the police. An argument ensued, and the man raised his hand to strike her, but his companions held him back.

The girl then called her mother and later her father, explaining what had happened. The parents got in their car and went to the Kerepes HÉV station. When the girl and the group of three men got off the train, the father was already waiting on the platform. When asked, the girl pointed out the harasser.
The father confronted the man and tried to take him down by grabbing his neck, but the harasser escaped the hold and pushed him. Then the father took out a utility knife and cut deeply—20 centimetres long—on the left side of the man’s neck. The girl’s mother immediately called the ambulance.

The harasser’s injury took several weeks to heal, and it was only by chance that he did not die. The Pest County Chief Prosecutor’s Office accuses the father of attempted murder, while the harasser faces charges of indecent assault and disorderly conduct. The Budapest Surrounding Court will decide the guilt of the accused.

Ridiculous. The father did nothing wrong; even if he did, the most they should nail him for should be battery.
I have been asking for years: Where are the fathers, uncles, brothers, spouces of women or children being put into danger by anyone who so ever…stranger, coworker, neighbour, family member or friend? Although vigilany justice is not usually a good response to threats or criminal acts towards one, cops can’t get to every incident, and laws often tie their hands to ‘do something substantial’ so people must act in the best intersts of their own members or businesses. The angry father would have been better to have had a noose or zip tie…but why did the other men in the group not control their friend commiting indescent acts towards a vulnerable person, a stranger???? All of their faces should be publicized and employers should look carefully at these men….
100%! 👏👏👏
Save Hungarian taxpayers a whole heap of money: NOT GUILTY!
I would have done exactly the same thing if it was my daughter.
I’m also sure,
President Orban or any other leading figure including judges would do exactly the same has the father did,
If they didn’t,
What sort of Pare to would they be.
If You bring children into this world,
It’s your job to protect them from harm.
