At around 8pm on Tuesday, two cars collided in Hyltebruk, Halland. After the collision, some sort of altercation ensued and additional vehicles poured in.
— There is information that claims that it would be about 20 people, says Fredrik Svedemyr, press spokesperson at the police.
Before the police, ambulance and emergency services arrived, a man in his 40s was stabbed in the neck and shoulder. The person was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
A man, also in his 40s but slightly older, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault. The classification was later changed.
“Because there are some vital parts around the neck, this has been classified as attempted murder,” says Fredrik Svedemyr.
The arrested person also has some minor injuries that he received in connection with the fight.
