Teen admits making bomb threat call to Budapest school, police find no explosives

Police received a distorted-voice call reporting a bomb at a Budapest secondary school and dispatched the Készenléti Rendőrség Tűzszerész Szolgálata to inspect the vacant premises, where no explosive material or device was discovered. The call originated from a public telephone in Zugló, prompting officers to locate several youths in the vicinity. One of those youths later placed the 112 call and was apprehended at his residence in District XIV.

The 17-year-old suspect was questioned for public endangerment and, during the interview, acknowledged he was the caller, explaining that he acted out of anger toward students who had ridiculed him and now regrets his actions. The Kontyfa Általános Iskola és Gimnázium and Pestújhelyi Általános Iskola had each received threatening letters the previous evening.
