Man in Uppsala stabbed – assaulted in basement storage

It was just after midnight that the police went out to Sala backe after a man in his 30s raised the alarm himself that he had been stabbed.

– We go out there with an ambulance and can ascertain that there was a knife cut in a basement storage room, says Mathias Rutegård, press spokesperson at the police.

The man was taken to hospital by ambulance and his injuries were initially not considered life-threatening.

The police have launched a preliminary investigation into serious assault.

– We cordoned off the house and carried out a technical investigation. We do not know why this has happened and we have not arrested any suspects, says Mathias Rutegård.

– It is important to emphasize that we do not see any connections to gang crime, but see this as an individual incident.
