Change language:
A man was abducted in plain sight in Budapest. He was attacked by three men, and he was forced into a BMW and taken against his will last Monday. A nearby witness recorded the incident on his phone. Police arrested the driver, but they are still looking for the other three men who beat the victim.
ATV reports that a man was abducted during daylight in a very busy area in Budapest last Monday (on the 1st of April) around 6 p.m. The incident happened near Kőbánya-alsó railway station.
A witness had just got off the train when he noticed three people beating a fourth man and forcefully pushing him into a black BMW. The man told ATV that they first attacked the man and started to beat him, then they tried to squeeze him inside the car, which they eventually managed to do. The witness was able to capture the incident on camera with his phone while he was hiding behind a nearby door.
“I did not want them to notice me, that’s why the video is so short. Then I left the scene as fast as I could and called the police as soon as possible” – the witness told ATV.
Either its organized crime or agents of a foreign power kidnapping someone. Budapest has plenty of organized crime and Hungary has been completely infiltrated by foreign (mostly Russian) security services.
