A man has been hit in the face by a firework in Solna, outside Stockholm, police say. The young man is seriously injured and has been taken to hospital by ambulance.

Many people were at the scene, according to police spokesperson Ola Österling.

"They probably aimed fireworks at each other," said Österling.

A criminal investigation into causing bodily harm has been initiated.

A man was also injured in Hörby on New Year's Eve. According to police, the man, who is in his 30s, was "working with fireworks in his kitchen."

This caused a piece of wood to explode and start a small fire in the kitchen. Emergency services, police and medical personnel were called to the scene.

The man was taken to hospital by ambulance with injuries to his fingers and hands. He has suffered serious injuries, according to Region Skåne.
