A taxi driver was assaulted at the Borås Travel Center on Friday morning. Police have arrested an 18-year-old suspect in connection with the attack. The driver did not sustain serious injuries according to initial reports.
Borås is a city in western Sweden known for its textile industry and university. The Travel Center serves as a major transportation hub for buses and regional transit.
Violence against taxi drivers remains an ongoing concern in Swedish cities. Drivers often work late hours and handle cash transactions, making them vulnerable targets. This incident follows similar attacks reported in other Swedish urban areas.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the assault. They have not released additional details about the suspect or possible motives.
Taxi industry representatives have repeatedly called for better safety measures for drivers. Many vehicles now feature security cameras and emergency alert systems, but physical assaults still occur regularly across the country.
