It is late in the afternoon on January 4 when the woman goes out with the dog in the courtyard of the apartment building where she lives.
In the darkness, she hears someone stepping up behind her and saying "hi" before she gets what she experiences as a hard blow to the back. When she turns around, she sees that the attacker, a boy, is holding up his phone.
I get most angry. I see the guy and wonder how such a small guy can hit so hard, I shout but I don't run after, she tells BT.
It's not until she gets home that she realizes her sweater is wet with blood and that she has been stabbed in the back. The knife has gone in deep and punctured her lung.
Arrested the same evening
After two operations and a week in the hospital, she gets to go home. She is expected to physically recover.
But it's the psychological part that takes time. When will I be able to sleep properly? How long will I feel bad? I'm very emotional, she says.
The hours after the assault, a clip filmed from the perpetrator's perspective begins to circulate on the net. The same evening, the suspected boy, who is under 15 years old, is taken in for questioning.
Linked to online sect
The deed is linked, according to several media outlets, to the violent internet movement 764, which was founded by an American teenager in 2020.
The film clip from Borås contains, according to SVT, a reference to a username used by another minor boy who confessed to similar attacks in the Stockholm suburb of Hässelby in September last year.
The FBI has warned about the movement, which encourages unprovoked violent acts and, among other things, has lured children into sharing nude pictures and then forced them to engage in self-harm.
The self-proclaimed internet sect 764 was founded by an American teenager in 2020 and has got its name from his postal address in his hometown of Stephenville in Texas.
The founder is currently serving an 80-year prison sentence for child pornography offenses.
Young boys and men in several countries have, in the name of the movement, among other things, groomed, exploited, and blackmailed children sexually, committed several unprovoked knife attacks, and at least one murder.
In the USA, the UK, and Germany, identified 764 members have been sentenced to prison for murder, terrorist offenses, and sexual abuse of children.
A boy under 15 years old has confessed and been convicted of two knife attacks against a woman and an elderly man in the Stockholm suburb of Hässelby in September last year, attacks that were filmed and spread in a Telegram channel linked to 764.
The boy is said to have had a leading role in the Swedish branch of the movement and the subgroup NLM (No lives matter).
