On Monday, October 5, in the middle of the afternoon and in one of the most central areas of Gothenburg, a 40-year-old man was subjected to a brutal knife attack.
Prosecutor Christoffer Ohlson describes the incident in his lawsuit:
“The act caused life-threatening damage in the form of rib fractures, a punctured lung, artery damage with heavy bleeding and a severed tracheal branch in one lung.”

According to both parties, it was a random meeting that was behind the act.
– My daughter came in and made fun of him on Facebook. She is a girl and she thought it was funny. But he thought I was the one who did it, says the 40-year-old when questioned.
The man also admits that he gave an ear file to the 35-year-old suspect.
– He cursed my wife and called her a whore.

According to witnesses, the author fled the scene on a tram in the direction of Linnaeus Square. A couple of hours later, he was arrested in Frölunda, in the company of an accomplice who was later released.
The 35-year-old has consistently claimed that he acted in self-defense:
– I was attacked. He was very aggressive and threatening and hit me twice in the face. I got dizzy. The third battle failed. Then he rushed over to me and in that situation hit the knife. He never intended to hurt him.
