A man in his 35s has been scalded by hot water in a workplace accident.

-This cleaning consists of boiling water in the machine and that water has come over this man in an unknown way, says police spokesman Thomas Agnevik.

The man has been taken to hospital by ambulance, but it is unclear how serious the injuries are.

-It is a large amount of water he has received, says Agnevik.

The police do not have a criminal classification, but have started an investigation into a workplace accident.
