The 2016 Budapest bombing occurred on 24 September when a young man detonated a nail bomb in an attempt to kill two patrolling police officers. 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.
