The police rushed to the hospital on Wednesday evening. According to information received by the newspaper, the suspected crime took place in a tunnel under the women's clinic.

Extra guards were deployed at the hospital.

The information we received is that a violent crime occurred in the tunnel level. As a result, extra guards were called in who were on site during the night and will continue to be so on Thursday, says Magnus Aspegren, press chief at Skåne University Hospital, to the newspaper.

The police confirm that it is a suspected rape where an adult woman is said to have been exposed, but cannot say whether it involves a patient or an employee at the hospital.

Right now, we are going through surveillance cameras to create a picture of what happened, says Malmö police's press spokesperson Nils Norling to TT.

No one has been arrested in the case.
