It was on December 1, 2022 that the incident occurred and several police cars were called to the scene.

According to the evidence, the man threw himself at the one police officer in the back seat, where he pushed her up against the wall and roof of the police car.

Then the man scalped her in the face, bit her ear and finger and tried to tear the policeman's service weapon from him.

He is also said to have shouted several times that he was going to take the weapon to shoot the police to death.

Soon after, he also surrendered to the other police.

Even then, the man allegedly tried to take his weapon.

Means he wanted to be shot himself

In police interrogations and during the trial, the man believes that through the attack he wanted to get the police to shoot him.

The reason, according to himself, is that he had no desire to live anymore.

He has also told us that he has substance abuse problems.

District Court: Should not be sentenced for attempted murder

Hälsingland's district court makes the assessment that the man certainly tried to take the policemen's weapons.

But it is not proven "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the man did it to kill the police officers.

Witness Maria intervened during the police attack.
