On Kungsholmen in Stockholm, a woman was raped outdoors and the police were able to arrest a suspected perpetrator shortly afterwards.
"It is relatively unusual for rapes to occur outdoors, which makes it difficult to find a perpetrator. This time we were able to follow the suspect via surveillance cameras and then arrest him," says Ola Österling.
Dog kills deer
A few hours earlier, the police were called to Gärdet on the other side of town when a rooftop party went off the rails and the partygoers, most of them under the age of 18, began throwing eggs and beer cans onto the street below.
In Botkyrka, south of Stockholm, it wasn't just people who were causing trouble - a stray "polar dog" type dog chased, killed and began eating a deer. The police were called but had to wait for the dog's owner before they managed to get the dog under control. A report of a violation of the Act on the Supervision of Dogs and Cats was filed.
“Payday weekend plus menu”
The Bergslagen police region, which handles Dalarna, Värmland and Örebro counties, has been very busy, according to Anders Dahlman, press spokesperson.
It's been like a payday weekend with a bonus menu; we've had to stand in, he says.
Above all, it concerns violent crimes and drunkenness, including in connection with the large Midsummer celebration in Rättvik, where tens of thousands of people were present.
During the day there is singing and dancing and 'Little Frogs', but at night there is a slightly different atmosphere and there is more to do. You intervene in a fight and then you take three steps to the left and then you have to interrupt the next fight, says Anders Dahlman.
Man cut with glass bottle
Another well-known Midsummer celebration is in Borgholm on Öland, and there too alcohol has flowed, but according to the police it has not resulted in any serious crime.
There was a man staggering on a road whom we had to take care of. Overall, many people have been taken care of and allowed to sleep off their intoxication with us, says Sara Andersson, press spokesperson for the police region South.
The police on the west coast had to deal with even more serious crime. On Brännö in the Gothenburg archipelago, a man in his 30s was cut in the throat with a glass bottle and a man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault.
It is said to have happened in connection with a Midsummer celebration and, as far as I understand, the men did not know each other, says Adam Isaksson Samara.
