Three men abused a 27-year-old Jewish man in a neighbourhood of Budapest where significant Jewish population lives (7th district, Dohány street), because he admitted his Jewish origin when he was asked about it by the offenders.[1] Later, the police arrested a 16-year-old and an 18-year old man in connection with this incident.[2]  

The case is pending.
