BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — A police officer has died in Hungary’s capital after he and two other officers were stabbed while responding to a call. Police received a call late Thursday that a man had broken down the door of a neighboring apartment in Budapest and was attempting to enter. The city’s police department said on Friday that the man attacked the responding officers when they tried to take him into custody. One of the wounded officers shot the man in the leg as he fled into the street. Budapest police say the suspect and all three officers were taken to the hospital but a 29-year-old officer later died of stabbing injuries in the hospital.
