It was in July in central Skellefteå that the incident took place.

The man in his 40s is suspected of having stabbed another man in the stomach.

The injured man was taken to hospital by ambulance.

According to the indictment, the man suffered pain, blood loss and injuries to the abdomen.

The prosecutor believes that it was a coincidence that the stabbing did not cause life-threatening injuries or an infection and believes that the suspect showed particular ruthlessness or rudeness.

The man is charged with attempted murder, the prosecutor secondly demands that the man be convicted of aggravated assault.

Another man is charged with aggravated protection of a criminal because he is suspected of having taken the knife from the crime scene and hidden it for a while.
