Victims of insane act in Vaxholm say • SOS operator criticized
Published:
He heard a “hello,” the second after he was hit twice on the back.
The neighbor who tried to help was also a victim.
Later, police saw a man, arms outstretched and a knife in hand, standing under a lamppost in Vaxholm.
The man’s dog walk ended in horror.
He left his home in Vaxholm one summer afternoon this year to “take one last lap” for five to ten minutes.
In the same residential area, he saw a man coming out of a door.
They crossed paths on the catwalk.
The dog owner heard the man mutter “hello”.
Soon after, he heard “two quick footsteps coming from behind.”
– Suddenly I only feel two stabs in the back. It was a shock, I say “what the hell are you doing” and start running for your life, says the victim.
“Now it’s over”
Together with his dog, he sought help from a portal.
– I climb the ladder and scream in panic when I see how much I bleed while talking to 112.
He went up one floor and “hoped someone would hear him.”
– I’m going to bed. Before someone comes out, I think “now it’s over.” I wonder if it is better to call to say goodbye or is it better to leave huh, which is the best for me. When I stood there alone, I felt like “it was over.”
Finally, a neighbor came out and helped iron towels.
– I bleed a lot. I can breathe but that’s it, just spray blood, says the stabbed man to the SOS operator.
At the same time, a woman was heard in the background of the call to 112:
– You have to send an ambulance quickly here. My God, how much blood.

Ran forward and hit the neighbor
A large rescue operation was dispatched to the scene, and as the units began to approach, the SOS operator said:
– The ambulance helicopter is right outside, you need someone to turn on a flashlight so they can find them. Can another neighbor run and shine? Do you have another neighbor there who can run off with a flashlight?
Then a neighbor ran out with two strong lights to try to help the pilot.
Then it shone on a man who was standing some distance from the place.
Soon after, the neighbor noticed the man approaching.
– I leaned across the patio and then heard footsteps from the man I wanted and was caught by the man who stabbed me twice with a knife.
A resident witnessed the attack:
– He falls on his back and drops one of the flashlights, gets up after a few seconds and grabs his back, runs and shouts “help”.
Just at that moment the blue lights began to appear in the direction, whereupon the man with the knife “put an end to the attack” at the same time that the neighbor “ran towards a police car that was advancing”.
Police were forced to draw a gun
The first police officers to arrive at the scene first encountered a man in a bloody shirt, who later turned out to be the stabbed neighbor. Then he pointed “towards the houses.”
– When I turned my head and looked in that direction, I saw how a man was walking down a walkway towards the patrol, about 15-20 meters away. He walked relatively slowly, his arms were extended from his body forward in a V shape. In his right hand he held a knife, says the policeman.
– This was very clear when the man was standing just under a streetlight. So I raised my gun and screamed at the same time that the man would drop the knife, says another policeman.
The perpetrator dropped the bloody knife and could be quickly arrested. The police were also forced to pepper him.
– He tried to get up several times, he was violent and aggressive, it took me a lot of strength from time to time on my part and my colleague to hold him.
SOS Alarm criticized: “Very serious”
Aftonbladet was able to report last summer that the SOS operator was internally investigated for having asked the neighbor, during an ongoing violent situation, to come out to a crime scene that was not secured by the police. Something that led to him being stabbed.
After a lengthy internal SOS Alarm investigation, it was concluded that mistakes had been made and that routines had not been followed.
– We can affirm that there were uncertainties that led to the place not being secured by the police. There were misunderstandings and ambiguities in cooperation and communication between us, the police and the ambulance, which meant that we did not understand all the details during the course of the events, says Sarah Hummerdal, press officer for SOS Alarm.
However, they do not want to go into detail in the investigation.
– We will clarify the division of responsibilities and strengthen education so that similar mistakes are not repeated. This shouldn’t be able to happen and we take what happened very seriously, says Sarah Hummerdal.
You also cannot comment on any action against the SOS operator.
– I do not want to enter individual employees. A 112 alarm is often handled by different roles both with us and with our partners. There were ambiguities here at various levels and we took responsibility for the entire chain to make sure it is not repeated.

The man was sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge examination.
The perpetrator: chosen at random
The 26-year-old man with the knife was sentenced this week to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge test for two attempted murder cases. According to him, he has previously had contact with mental health care.
Police: Is there a reason why you should attack these two?
– No, no, it was just a coincidence.
Didn’t they say anything or anything like that?
– No, I don’t know them.
One victim is still ill today and the other is still on sick leave, according to the district court ruling.
– You are shaken by a security that you thought existed. This kind of thing happens every day somewhere, but you’ve had the privilege of not having been exposed to this kind of serious violence before, says the dog’s owner.
