It was a police patrol that discovered the man during a routine patrol shortly before 9:30 p.m.

He was found on Stockholmsvägen at the height of Segevång in Malmö.

The man, who is in his 30s, is taken to hospital by ambulance.

The extent of the injury is currently unclear.

- I cannot comment on the state of the damage, says police spokesperson Rickard Lundqvist.

At the moment, the police do not want to answer whether the man is already known to them.

Two people are wanted

No one has been arrested, but the police say they are looking for two perpetrators.

- We cannot go into why, but the police have reason to search two people.

The police have also cordoned off an area on Lundavägen, at the height of Rostorp, as this is believed to be a crime scene, they state on their website.

The incident is being investigated as attempted murder.
