Ticket inspectors, curiously referred to as “controllers” in Hungary, are demanding self-defense weapons such as pepper spray due to the rise in atrocities comitted during their controlling, says Metro Union leader Attila Gulyas, according to Blikk. As many as 60 attacks have occured just this year, including the one last Wednesday, when a female controller was pushed to the ground causing serious injuries. Despite this the BKK (Budapest Transport Centre) believes arming controllers would fail to solve the issue.
