Workplace in crisis after the assassination attempt

After the serious incident, the man was arrested and he is now remanded in probable cause for attempted murder. The woman is taken care of in hospital and her injury situation is stable.

The incident has been reported to the Swedish Work Environment Authority. At the same time, work on the accommodation continues, where both the user and the staff have a hard time.

"We are a workplace in crisis and we refer all questions to our press release right now," says Carin Hinas, who is the business manager at the accommodation.

In the notification to the Swedish Work Environment Authority, the chief executive writes:

“An employee meets a user in public areas. The user initiates a communication in a nice way but then stabs the unprovoked employee with a knife in his stomach. The employee is taken to hospital by ambulance. "

- An employee is seriously injured, but this is a police investigation, so we will not comment on it anymore, says Attendos press chief, Makan Afshinnejad and continues:

- Of course, everyone around here is affected by such a tragic event. It is a pressing situation but work must continue.

At the same time as the police investigation continues, Attendo has started its own investigation. The affected woman and her relatives have been offered support from occupational health care and have regular contact with Attendo.

It is the second serious incident on the property in a short period of time. At the end of July, a resident drowned during a swim. It was later discovered that the accommodation had already previously stated that the man could not swim.

Still, he was allowed to swim in the lake without the staff being in the water. This event has been reported to the Inspection for Health and Care Services.
