VIDEO: Man waves gas pistol at Hungarian Parliament, fails to impress passers-by
Change language:
Last week, a man was waving a gas alarm gun in his hand at Kossuth Square in Budapest.
According to an eyewitness, the man shouted that he was a security guard and then called for people to fight him. The police have now released a short video of the incident: you can see that the man was not in control of the situation, but the police arrived quickly.
In the video, the man, dressed in black, can be seen in the area between the Kossuth Square metro and tram stops, putting his beer in front of him, taking the gas pistol from its holster and turning it around to raise it in the air.
He then waved a few times with the gun in his hand, but the people walking in the area did not even raise their heads. After some thought, he put his gun back in its place. By this time, police and parliamentary guards had arrived and quickly took the man down and removed him from the square.
All of them ran to the man, who was still shouting and waving his arms even after the police had been called. The gun was no longer in his hand but in a holster on his side.
