The police are investigating a serious violent crime at Boulognerskogen in Gävle. A large police operation is underway.

One person has been taken to hospital by ambulance with unclear injuries, the police write on their website.

The police were alerted to the scene at 5 pm by a passerby, according to the police's press spokesperson Tobias Ahlén-Svalbro.

We are sending several patrols to investigate what has happened. We have held interviews with witnesses and we have cordoned off the area, he says without going further into what kind of crime it is.

More than that I do not have to release at present.
