A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder at staff housing in Boden. Two men were injured in the attack and taken to hospital with unknown injury status. Police were alerted to the scene just before 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
On Saturday evening, December 6, police were alerted to staff housing in Boden, Norrbotten, after reports of two injured men. The incident occurred just before 7:30 p.m., and a man in his 30s was arrested on site on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder.
The injured are two men who were taken to hospital by ambulance. Their injury status is unknown, and police will not comment on details of the injuries. According to police, a bludgeon was used in the attack, but the type is not specified to avoid influencing witnesses.
“The incident occurred at a type of staff housing,” says police spokesperson Maria Fredriksson. “There are reports that a bludgeon was used.”
The crime scene has been cordoned off, and police plan to gather witness statements through interviews. The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear if the involved parties know each other or what kind of housing it is. Police emphasize that it involves serious crimes.
“I cannot go into more detail on what the injuries are, but it is classified as suspected attempted murder so it concerns serious offenses,” says Maria Fredriksson.
There are some discrepancies in reporting on the victims' ages: one source states men in their 50s and 60s, while another mentions 30s and 60s based on a local newspaper.
