A man injured three policemen in Budapest late on Thursday with a knife and one of the policemen died later in hospital, police said in a statement on Friday.

The suspect tried to enter a flat in a Budapest apartment block when the police was called. As the three policemen tried to detain him, the man stabbed them with a knife and tried to escape to the street where a fourth policeman shot him in the foot.
