– It is serious, the person was not conscious when the ambulance left, says Magnus Jansson Klarin, the police’s spokesperson in the Mitt region.
It was a passerby who discovered the injured person late on Tuesday evening and alerted the police and ambulance.
The police suspect that the person has been the victim of a serious crime. A larger area around the cycle path is cordoned off and the police have begun investigative measures such as door knocking and technical examination.
Shortly before 01:00, there was no one detained in the case, which at the time had not yet received a criminal classification.
Earlier in the evening, the police were alerted to a fight in central Sandviken.
– A number of people were also checked on that occasion, so it is clear that we are also looking into whether there is any connection, but it is a bit too early to say right now, says Magnus Jansson Klarin.
