00:45 during the night until Sunday, police were alerted to a staircase in the Skogslyckan, Uddevalla. There they found a man who was very seriously injured after receiving a stab with a sharp object, probably a knife according to the police. The man had to be taken to hospital and is currently down to NÄL with life-threatening injuries. Soon, police were able to arrest a 30-year-old man who is now being arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and later could arrest a girl in his upper teens who is arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

- There are several witnesses to the incident, some of which we have already talked to and we will talk to the rest as soon as possible. Right now the investigative situation looks good, but you never know, says Sten-Rune Timmersjö, head of the police unit for serious crimes.

The two arrested refuse a crime.

The man known before

According to police, the man should be released just the day before the knife attack happened from having been arrested on suspicion of serious abuse that should have taken place earlier last week. According to the police, the deeds must have no connection with each other.

"He has been known to the police since before," says Sten-Rune Timmersjö.

The victim and the perpetrator should be acquainted with each other. But the details of the suspected murder trial are not yet known.
