– We were told that the man was lying on the pavement. It was clear that he had injuries to the head and face, says Sara Andersson, the police’s spokesperson. 112 was called and the man was taken to hospital by ambulance. The extent of his injuries are unknown.

It remains unclear whether or not the incident was a crime or an accident. The police are investigating it as an assault for the time being.
