The current press spokesperson is on site. Below follows a selection of the night's events.

22:35 traffic accident, Halmstad
Police and ambulance are alerted to Laholmsvägen/Wrangelsgatan after a collision between two teenage girls on an electric bicycle and a car. The injury situation is unknown and it is unclear if any of the involved parties needed hospital care. The patrol writes a report on negligence in traffic.

22:39 traffic accident, Halmstad
A teenage boy calls SOS and reports that he was hit by a driver on Backhausgatan. He is said to have taken himself to the emergency room and was not in need of an ambulance. The patrol sets up a report regarding reckless driving and fleeing the traffic accident scene.

23:45 attempted rape, Halmstad
A call is received by the police that a teenage girl was allegedly attacked by several masked men at a pedestrian tunnel in Snöstorp. There are no reports of physical injuries. The girl takes herself away from the scene and the police go to the address where she is located. The patrol writes a report on attempted rape without a suspected perpetrator.

**Update 12:41
**The information about Snöstorp is incorrect. The incident occurred under a railway viaduct along Wrangelsgatan, Gamletull, around 22:30. The perpetrators allegedly put a ligature on the girl and threatened her, including with sexual violence. The perpetrators seem to know who the girl is, as they addressed her by name. They then leave the scene on foot, presumably in the direction of central Halmstad. The girl is reported not to have suffered any serious physical injuries. 

The police have heard the complainant and initiated an investigation, initially regarding attempted rape. The classification has since been changed and currently applies to unlawful threats, sexual harassment, and assault. There is currently no suspect in the case. 

The police are in great need of witness statements. Anyone who has seen the incident or made observations in close proximity to the crime is encouraged to contact 114 14 or via the police's tip form on the web. 

01:12 attempted break-in, Falkenberg
Residents on Arvidstorpsvägen contact the police and report that they woke up to someone trying to break into the apartment. The patrol goes to the address and searches the area with a dog without result. A report is set up regarding attempted break-in.
