According to NU healthcare's press service, a woman in her 20s has been taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Security Manager Anna Granlund tells TT that one of the municipality's employees has been taken to hospital.

We confirm that a serious crime has been committed in one of our operations. An employee is receiving care, says Granlund.

The staff is being offered crisis support from today.

I cannot comment on that, says Anna Granlund.
