Knife attack in Gothenburg – two arrested for attempted murder
A man was subjected to serious violence indoors in the Tuve district on Thursday evening. He had been inflicted with injuries from a sharp weapon during the tumult in the flat. The rescue service was called to the address and transported the victim to hospital. The man's condition was assessed as serious but stable – he was conscious and able to communicate.
Police were alerted at 19:55 following a report from residents in the building.
"We receive calls from neighbours who hear noise and shouting from a flat. When the patrol arrives, they find an injured man," said Jens Andersson, spokesperson for police in the West region.
Two individuals were apprehended at the scene. Both are now held in custody on probable grounds suspected of attempted murder.
The flat has been cordoned off for crime scene investigation. Police have begun door-to-door enquiries in the neighbourhood to gather witness statements.
"It is still unclear what triggered the violence and exactly what implement was used," Andersson stated.
