Young woman abused at the Alive festival

The alarm came in at 01.38 and a patrol went there to hear the plaintiff and secure traces. The incident must have taken place inside the festival area.

– According to information, a man approached her and did something sexually offensive, mainly against her will, and behaved very badly towards her, says Sophia Jiglind, press spokesperson at the police.

“Working with full force”

It is unclear whether the woman needed to seek medical attention, but it was not about any life-threatening or serious injuries, according to the police.

– But of course it was very uncomfortable for her. We are working full force on that case now, continues Sophia Jiglind.

Registration completed

A report of sexual harassment and assault has been drawn up. No one is a suspect at this time, the police say.

Otherwise, it has been a quiet night at the festival.
