A Hungarian paramedic kicked a patient in the head

An incident that shocked the entire country occurred on a train platform in the Hungarian town of Hatvan. A man lying on a stretcher after attempting to throw himself under a train was bound and surrounded by police and railway workers. However, at one point, one of the paramedics suddenly approached and kicked the man hard in the head.

The video quickly spread across social media and caused widespread controversy. The Hungarian Ambulance Service (OMSZ) promptly fired the employee, stating it was "shocked and ashamed" of his actions. Police opened a criminal case under the statutory law "assault by a public official," which carries a prison sentence of up to five years in Hungary.
