A 15-year-old boy suffered serious injuries during an outdoor fight in Malmö, Sweden. Emergency services transported him to hospital by ambulance. Police are investigating the incident as attempted murder.
Witnesses reported seeing a group of young adults involved in the altercation, according to police spokesperson Patric Fors. The assailants used some type of weapon during the attack, though officials declined to specify what kind.
Authorities cordoned off the area for forensic examination. No suspects have been arrested in connection with the violent incident.
This attack highlights ongoing concerns about youth violence in Swedish cities. Malmö has faced particular challenges with gang-related conflicts in recent years, though police have not confirmed any gang connections in this specific case.
Violent crimes involving teenagers raise difficult questions about social integration and youth outreach programs. The fact that no arrests have been made suggests investigators face challenges in identifying those responsible.
