Police in the Czech capital have arrested a student over the machete killing of a teacher at a Prague vocational school, officials said on Thursday.
The suspect, a student from the school, was detained after a manhunt that involved hundreds of officers, police said.
Education Minister Petr Gazdik said the incident was likely a result of a conflict between the teacher and the student. He gave no more details.
“It’s something that should have not happened,” Gazdik said.
