The police were called to an apartment dispute in Orsa in March this year. The now-convicted man opened the door and stabbed a police officer in the face with a knife. According to the district court, there was a significant risk that the police officer, who was slightly injured, could have died from the stab wound, SVT writes.
The man, who is in his 30s, is also convicted of violence and threats against an official and gross unlawful threats against a woman in the apartment.
The police fired live ammunition and used tasers against the man during the intervention.
The man, who, according to Dala-Demokraten, was heavily under the influence of drugs, is also sentenced to pay damages to several of the police officers involved.
