The boy, who was assaulted outside Rudbeckianska high school in April, still has problems from his injuries. He has had severe pain, double vision, lost a lot of blood and has undergone several operations. In court, he says that he passed out immediately after the blow and did not know what had happened when he regained consciousness. He bled profusely after the blow to the head and was taken by ambulance.
Interrogated in Västmanland district court
The boy underwent several operations, including bone removal from the hip to stabilize the damage to the skull. He still has some problems with double vision.
He also told the court that he was falling behind in school, that he missed his friends and going to the gym. When asked if he often thinks about what happened, he answers:
The violence at Oxbacken in Västerås
Attacked four with a knife and padlock – the perpetrator in court: “I apologize”
“Attack under silence” – that was the first day of the trial about the violent act at Oxbacken
– Daily. It’s hard to avoid because you’re constantly reminded, because it’s in your face. Every time I look in the mirror I see it. It’s hard.
