In the latest checks, 446 people were stopped, eight arrested, two were presented to the courts, one security measure was made and nine warnings were issued, Bence Retvari, the interior ministry's parliamentary state secretary, told a press conference held at the Astoria junction underpass in Budapest, adding that the ministry's aim was to make everyone feel safe in the underpasses.

When the current mayor's predecessor, Istvan Tarlos, was in charge, the underpasses were safer, he said, adding that related complaints had become more frequent after he left his post.
