At a quarter to nine on Monday evening, the first of the men, a 25-year-old man, was found stabbed in the stomach on Kepler Street, after which he was taken to hospital.

Half an hour later, the police in the Old Town found another man, this man in his 35s, who had a knife injury in the groin. According to his own statement, the man was injured on Kepler Street.

- We assume that the events have a connection. They seem to have hurt each other, the injuries indicate that and so the information looks from conversations with plaintiffs and witnesses, says duty officer in police region West, Göran Carlbom.
