On the night between Saturday and Sunday, two women in central Kristinehamn were assaulted on two separate occasions. A 38-year-old man was arrested on Sunday morning on suspicion of assault.

The man, who lives in Kristinehamn, has now been remanded in custody. He is suspected of raping one of the women for probable cause.

The second assault is classified as attempted rape, but the prosecutor has not yet decided to request that the man be detained.
