Man demands to see PM, then threatens justice minister

Security was heightened at the office of the government on Friday after a man walked in trying to gain access to the prime minister. The news site Novinky.cz was the first to report the story, saying that the man, whose identity remains unknown, threatened he would kill Justice Minister Dana Kovářova, after he was turned away at the office of the government lobby. Neither the prime minister nor the justice minister were in the building at the time of the incident. The head of police security at the office of the government said that the individual slipped away before he could be arrested. But the police are confidant that the man will be apprehended as he was caught on security camera. Security at the justice ministry was also raised as a result of the incident; the justice minister - currently on holiday abroad - was informed of the developments.
