the police have opened fire on a suspect in an apartment building in Vanersborg.
The drama began when police at 18:40 pm received the alarm about a man trying to break into an apartment in Vanersborg. When police arrived on the scene, they encountered a man armed with a knife in the stairwell of the apartment building.
– The task was that the man was trying to break her into an apartment. When the first patrol arrive at the place they are met by a man with a knife and a policeman shooting then for effect against him. The man was not hit, and the police would pull back to arrest the man safely, said police spokesman Tommy Nyman.
The patrol guarded by the confrontation stairwell and at 20 o’clock they had the backing of the police SWAT team arrived on the scene along with a negotiator.
– We 20:44 we were able to arrest the man who is now suspected of attempted murder.
He then attacked the police?
– So you can express it, told Tommy Nyman at 21:20 on Monday.
20 minutes later Tommy Nyman says that it is unclear if the man has threatened or attacked policemen.
– Exactly how it happened I do not know right now. The border between to threaten or attack can be subtle, but it is an investigator who has decided that it should be classified as murder, alternatively attempted manslaughter, and that person is more familiar with the facts at the site than I am, says Tommy Nyman.
The arrested man is under police in their 50s and now the first ambulance to the hospital.
– He has another injury that was not caused by the police. I have no information on his skadläge more than that he is so damaged that he needs hospitalization, says Tommy Nyman.
What the police know at the moment have no other person threatened in the apartment building where the man was arrested.
– We are investigating whether there could be any other person who has been exposed to any type of threat, but we have no such information at this time, said police spokesman.
The current stairwell has now been cordoned off for the police to carry out a technical crime scene investigation at the site.
The police will Monday evening also hold interviews with any witnesses to the incident.
The police would not currently comment on why you think the man tried to break into the apartment.
– We have an idea of it, but it saves us to tell about the further says Tommy Nyman.
