Just before 21:00 on Sunday evening, a man allegedly tried to put a 15-year-old girl down on the track at Jakobsberg commuter train station, north of Stockholm.
The man, who is in his 30s, was caught red-handed by a police patrol who happened to be on the platform to check the orderly situation.
– According to our initial information, he confronted her against the edge of the platform in connection with a train coming in. So there has been an imminent danger that she would be injured, says Mikael Pettersson, officer on duty at the Stockholm police.
The incident was captured by surveillance cameras on the platform. The man and the girl must be unknown to each other from before.
The man was arrested later during the night by prosecutors, on probable grounds suspected of attempted murder. He denies any wrongdoing.
