The perpetrator is said to have strangled the victim in the home, and hit him in the face with his fist.

The beating continued out on the street, where the perpetrator is said to have grabbed a snow shovel with which he hit the victim in the face.

The perpetrator then left the scene, but he was quickly arrested by police and is now under arrest on suspicion of aggravated assault.

- He is known by us from before, he is.

During the day, we will continue to work with various interrogations and technical investigations, says Mattias Lundgren, on-duty preliminary investigation leader at the police.
