A woman stabbed by a Chinese fellow Covid-19 patient in a Budapest 6th district hospital last week died on Wednesday, the Budapest police said.

According to earlier reports, the suspect had repeatedly stabbed the woman, who was unable to defend herself, causing life-threatening injuries in the hospital’s Covid ward.

The man then tried to run out of the ward and lightly injured a security guard. The suspect is in custody, currently undergoing mental tests.

A Chinese Covid-19 patient who stabbed an anaesthesized woman using surgical scissors in the courtyard of a Budapest hospital late last week has been taken into custody, the Budapest public prosecutor told MTI.

The 37-year-old suspect rushed out of the hospital’s Covid ward on Saturday afternoon, injured the hand of a security guard and then repeatedly stabbed the woman, who was unable to defend herself, in the head and chest, causing her life-threatening injuries, Tibor Ibolya said.

The mental condition of the suspect is being examined, he said.

The prosecutor cited the risk of escape and a possible repeat offence as the reason for his detention.
