- We do not know what caused these injuries.

We suspect that it may be a person who may have done it, says police spokesman Daniel Wikdahl.

The horse was found on Monday morning.

A veterinarian was called and has performed examinations on site, but the horse will be transported to the Swedish Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala for further analyzes.

-You have to do a more thorough examination at SVA so maybe it is possible to answer what injuries the horse actually has, says Wikdahl.

He states that he does not know that any other horses or animals in the area have been subjected to attacks or abuse in recent years.
