Only two days before the incident in Nordanstig, the suspected perpetrator threatened other ambulance staff with a baseball bat and was taken into psychiatry. That information never reached those who responded to the alarm on Saturday, when a healthcare professional was killed. We must review our routines simply, says operations manager Liselott Sjöqvist.
SwedenThe emergency call that led to the assault on a paramedic did not indicate a threatening situation. It was calm and undramatic and did not contain any suspicions of threats and violence, says operational manager Liselott Sjöqvist at an emotional press conference. On the other hand, there is information about a violent situation at the address just days before.
SwedenThe murder of an ambulance nurse in Harmånger in Nordanstig municipality is also being noticed abroad. The Danish trade union for ambulance personnel is "appalled", the union writes in a press release.
