Man arrested after stabbing in Österåker villa
A 35-year-old man has been stabbed in a villa in Österåker after a 40-year-old man entered the property and started arguing with the occupants. The incident, which is being investigated by the police as a case of attempted murder, occurred just after 8 p.m. on Saturday.
According to police spokesperson Daniel Wikdahl, the two men did not know each other directly, and the reasons for the disagreement are still under investigation.
“In connection with the fight, a 35-year-old man was stabbed. He has been taken to the hospital by ambulance. According to the first reports, he was only superficially injured,” said Wikdahl. “We meet at the hospital and have good hopes of being able to hear him there.”
The man in his 40s was still at the scene when the police arrived and has been arrested. The police have opened a preliminary investigation into attempted murder.
“I do not want to rule out that there may be other classifications in the future,” said Wikdahl.
During the on-site investigation, an area near the villa has been cordoned off. The police also noted that during their approach, the situation escalated into a commotion, prompting more people to call the police.
The investigation is ongoing and the text is updated as new information becomes available.
