One of the migrants have stated to the police that the incident began with an unknown man in their 30s stabbed with a sharp object – which resembled a machete – through the canvas.

– The man will also have poured some kind of liquid on the tent, said police spokesman Thomas Fuxborg.

A woman who was in the tent got cuts on the one hand hewn. She screamed in pain and brought other residents.

When one of the men came out of his trailer, he was beaten in the head by the unknown man, probably with a hammer or a baton.

The unknown man then ran from the scene. According to the migrants, he was heavily built, was wearing dark clothes and carrying a backpack.

The police on Saturday found a backpack and a hammer believed to belong to the man. In the backpack police made another discovery.

The findings can not currently be linked to any individual, but police hope to find some form of DNA evidence or fingerprints of the technical investigation.

– We have an object that I hope will lead us forward in the investigation, the more I do not want to tell you more about it, says Thomas Fuxborg said.

They encountered the objects to be sent to the NFC, National forensic center, Linköping where they should be investigated.

The Geography at the camp and to the findings suggest that the attack must have been planned.

– The place is so that you have to get there to foot. Because the offender had with the backpack, weapons and liquor everything indicates that he planned to make this attack, says Thomas Fuxborg.

None of the wounded EU migrants have had to go to hospital.

At noon on Saturday, police have not yet arrested any offender. The nighttime attack classified as aggravated arson and two counts of aggravated assault.

All EU migrants who were in the caravans have been to the police and left the witness information.
