- We are on site and trying to get witness information.

We do not yet know how capable the plaintiff is to tell what he has been through, says police spokesperson Kim Lind.

The police are classifying the incident as attempted murder.

So far, no one has been arrested.

It was around 9 p.m. that the alarm came to the police that a man had been beaten in central Oskarshamn by two other people.

When the ambulance and police arrived at the scene, it was found that the man had also sustained cuts.

The place has been cordoned off and technicians will investigate it, say the police.
