The first alarm comes in at 22.44 on Tuesday evening from Old Customs in Halmstad, where a man is beaten by unknown perpetrators.

- It's punch and kick. He almost bleeds out and gets swelling under one eye and pain in one arm. He is awake and talkable and is sent to hospital by ambulance, says Anna Göransson, the police spokesperson.

Another abuse

No perpetrator is found and just over half an hour later, at 23.21, the police are alerted to a further ill-treatment outdoors in Halmstad at Linehed.

- It is a bigger problem, between 15 and 20 people are reported to be involved.

But none of the four plaintiffs are said to have suffered any serious injuries.

- It is scrubs and someone who gets a swollen lip.

May be related

Several people are checked at the scene and a report of abuse is written. According to the police, there may be a connection between the abuse at Old Customs and the abuse at Linehed.

- It is not impossible that it is related, says police spokeswoman Anna Göransson.
