Four Women Arrested for Brutal Assault in Stockholm Metro
Four young women face arrest for a brutal group assault in Stockholm's metro system. The victim suffered serious injuries requiring hospitalization in Saturday's early morning attack. Police describe the violence as containing particularly brutal elements.
Police arrested four women in their 20s for a violent assault in Stockholm's metro system. The incident occurred around 5 AM on Saturday morning at Hötorget station in central Stockholm. Authorities responded to reports of multiple women attacking another woman.
The victim sustained serious injuries and required hospital treatment. Witnesses described the assault as particularly brutal.
Police spokesperson Ola Österling said in a statement that the victim was lying on the ground while being kicked and beaten. He confirmed the attack contained extremely violent elements.
Hötorget is a major transportation hub located in Stockholm's city center. The station serves as both a metro stop and a popular public square known for its market.
This early morning violence in a typically safe public space raises concerns about security in Stockholm's transit system. The brutal nature of the attack by multiple perpetrators suggests coordinated aggression rather than spontaneous conflict.
