The alarm came at 19.22 on Wednesday, according to the police.

A smaller child, I'm not saying the exact age, has fallen from a window on Södermalm. We're trying to figure out how it could have happened. The child has been taken to hospital by ambulance for care. I assess the child as seriously injured, says the police's press spokesperson Carina Skagerlind.

The police have initiated a preliminary investigation into bodily harm, and will conduct a technical investigation at the scene.

We need to initiate some kind of preliminary investigation so that we can take measures, here we don't know how the incident occurred, says Skagerlind.
