The incident occurred the night of Sunday. Five masked men must have given up on the man, who is in his 20s. He was seriously injured when he tried to defend himself against the carving and later ended up in the hospital in Varberg. There he is still cared for.

- We have held a hearing with him, but he has not wanted to give much information to the police, says police spokeswoman Anna Göransson.

No suspects or arrests

She adds that this is not the first time a victim is uncooperative and wants to answer questions.

- We see it from time to time in various investigations. So it's nothing unusual, she says.

As there are several witnesses from the scene, the police continue to interrogate them. There is no suspect or detainee at this time.

The man's injuries should not be life-threatening.
