A policeman and a policewoman (the latter, coincidentally, the poster face of the Hungarian police's recruiting campaign) suffered injuries but survived the attack. After the incident the police chief in charge announced a full-scale investigation and promised to give 10 million HUF to whoever reported the perpetrator. According to Zsolt Molnár, the chairman of the National Security Commission of the Hungarian Parliament, it is unlikely that the attack had anything to do with other terror-related incidents in Europe in 2016.http://mno.hu/belfold/terez-korut-muszlim-terroristarol-szo-sincs-1363388 Teréz körút: muszlim terroristáról szó sincs Hungarian 27 September 2016 29 September 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160929105319/http://mno.hu/belfold/terez-korut-muszlim-terroristarol-szo-sincs-1363388 live Perpetrator The perpetrator, László Gergely P., was caught on 19 October 2016 by the Counter Terrorism Centre in Keszthely.
