A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of seriously injuring three people of the same age with a knife in central Skellefteå.
– We are investigating how the men know each other. They seem to have had contact before, says Elin Andersson, press spokesperson at the police region North.
The man is suspected in the initial investigation stage of attempted murder and is expected to be arrested. There are currently no additional suspects. The three injured men are also in their 20s. All three are taken to hospital. Their injuries are considered serious but not life-threatening.
What is behind the incident is not known, but it is not a random act of insanity, according to the police.
At half past one, the suspect could be arrested, outdoors in the city.
