Authorities in Prague have responded to separate incidents involving threats to public safety. In September 2026, police arrested a 39-year-old man for sending dozens of alarmist emails between August and September. These messages included threats against medical staff, university students, and a specific bomb threat at the Old Town Astronomical Clock that forced the evacuation of approximately 650 people.

In October 2026, police launched a search for a different suspect following an incident on a tram. A man allegedly threatened a child and other passengers with a knife after shouting abusively at a crying child. Investigators are using camera footage to identify the suspect, who is described as having the appearance of a homeless person.
