In recent weeks, a seconds-long movie clip of the assault has been widely disseminated on social media, including internationally, as the British Daily Mail has drawn attention to the incident.
After the police were able to establish that the alleged assault took place at Helsingborgsgatan in Malmö in mid-September, the police themselves drew up a report.
A few days later, the film was shown on TV3’s Wanted, prompting police to contact a woman who is believed to be the person to be beaten in the film.
The woman has been assigned a plaintiff’s attorney.
It was closed
According to information from Kvällsposten, the woman is not a Malmö resident.
The film drew the attention of the police in connection with the emptying of a phone linked to the investigation of another crime. According to information from Kvällposten, the assault seen in the film occurred more than a year ago.
The vulnerable woman should have made a police report even then, but it was removed for lack of evidence, SVT Skåne reports.
– She reported the incident when it happened. And then not much came to light in that investigation, so it was closed. But now it has been resumed, leader of the preliminary investigation Hanna Hagberg tells Sydsvenskan.
The man suspected of beating the woman has been identified. Suspicions against the man are weak at this stage. He is not notified of suspicions and has not been heard by the police.
According to information from Kvällposten, the man has been convicted of a crime over a long series of years in, among other places, the Malmö District Court. According to a verdict from earlier this year, he must have been linked to serious organized crime.
