Previously, the criminal classification was attempted murder, why has it changed?

The knife cutting took place just before 19 on Thursday, in the middle of the square in central Skellefteå.
An injured man was taken to hospital by ambulance and the now detained 42-year-old could be quickly arrested in the square.
Prosecution must be brought no later than 6 August.
