Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

The drama unfolded on September 6 last year. The police received an alarm about an aggressive man who was in the area. The man had climbed onto a balcony and then climbed up to the third floor.

There he entered an apartment and attacked a 75-year-old man. He first threatened to kill the apartment owner and his family before stabbing the man in the stomach. The victim was also hit in the head several times.

The man then dragged the other out onto the balcony and would stab him again. The police had then arrived at the scene and fired a warning shot. Several police officers entered the apartment, but the man fought back. Finally, he was able to be arrested.

The victim has told that the man who attacked him is a married relative and that there has been a conflict within the family.

The man, who claimed emergency protection, is now sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge examination for, among other things, attempted murder. He must also pay close to SEK 270,000 in damages.
