Police arrest Hungarian couple for tear-gassing homeless
Police have caught a married couple who had been robbing homeless people in Kaposvár after spraying them with tear gas. The couple would then beat their victims and remove their belongings, police said.
When police went to arrest the couple in their Kaposvár home, the man tried to attack the commando units with a machete but had no time to use it.
One of their victims, a deaf and mute man, had lost an eye and another lost 85% of his eyesight due to the tear gas.
