It was just before 03:00 that the incident took place in Sanden, Boden municipality.
The patrol would stop a car when the driver suddenly tries to turn the car.
- He then got stuck in a ditch and to prevent the driver from driving away, the police needed to close the road and pull the car, says Stefan Andersson, RLC officer, to SVT.
Suspected of several crimes
The man, who is in his 30s, was arrested and is now suspected of illegal use, violation of the knife law and the weapons law.
- I can not go into any details at the moment.
The patrol is still working on the case and a prosecutor has been contacted, says Andersson and announces that the man is also suspected of drug driving and minor drug offenses, own use and possession.
Calm night
Last week, a young man was shot to death in Boden, but the police report a quiet Halloween weekend.
- I have no other cases that stand out in the area.
In the county as a whole, there have been some youth parties and drunk driving.
