A man suffered serious injuries in an apparent attempted murder in Krokslätt on Saturday morning. Police have not identified any suspects yet.
The incident occurred at 8:40 AM outside Fredriksdalshemmet, a senior living facility in this Gothenburg suburb. Emergency services received multiple calls about an injured person.
Police cordoned off a large area and brought in dog patrols and forensic technicians. Officers plan to conduct door-to-door inquiries in the neighborhood.
Adam Isaksson Samara, a police spokesperson, confirmed the ongoing investigation. "We are treating this as attempted murder initially," he said in a statement. "This classification might change as we gather more evidence."
The victim was transported to a hospital for treatment of serious injuries. Police have not released information about his condition or identity.
Krokslätt is typically a quiet residential area southwest of central Gothenburg. Violent crimes of this nature remain relatively uncommon in Swedish suburbs compared to major international cities.
Investigators face the challenge of solving a serious violent crime without immediate suspects. The lack of arrests suggests police are still establishing basic facts about what occurred.
