However, lawyer Oscar Hillmann states that he cannot currently comment on how his client explains the act.

It was at lunchtime on Monday that the 22-year-old is suspected of having first run over a man in his 45s and then stabbed him with something sharp.

Today, he was arrested with restrictions and on probable cause suspected of attempted murder. Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ulrika Grenerfors still does not want to comment on what it is about a sharp object.

- We have an object that we will examine technically. I can not disclose what it is to the media, she tells SVT Nyheter Öst.

She further says that the police have a lot of technical investigation left to do.

- The suspect has given his explanation for what happened, but we also want to check it. Nothing we have found shows that they both know each other before.

The injured person is out of danger and remains in hospital for observation, according to a bulletin from Region Östergötland.
