Fall from hotel window investigated as attempted murder

A man has fallen from a hotel window in southern Stockholm. The police have arrested a man suspected of attempted murder after the incident.

There is still much that is unclear about what happened, and we need to investigate this further. A man who was in the vicinity has been arrested, but then we'll see if it holds for a detention, says Carina Skagerlind, press spokesperson for the police.

The man who fell from the window was conscious after the fall and has been taken to hospital with unclear injuries.

The incident occurred a few floors up in the building, but I don't know exactly how many floors, says Carina Skagerlind.

The alarm about the incident came in to the police and rescue services around 19.30 on Monday.
