Knifeman attempted to attack police and was shot down by several shots.
Police was called to a beating right in the centrum of Malmö city. When police arrived at the scene, they spotted one man with a knife in his hand. They called out to him to drop his weapon 5-6 times in a row, or he would be shot. Instead of dropping the knife, he started running in a fast pace in the direction of the police... The cop had no choice but to shoot him. The man fell down to the ground but got up and started running, with knife still in his hand, again. He was shot again, fell down, and this time he stayed down.
Witnesses tell different stories. Some say the knifeman in fact didn't run in the direction of the police, but away from them. I find that so hard to believe because swedish police RARELY use their guns, they only use them if they think their life is in serious danger. Swedish cops are not like american cops, remember that.
Also, witnesses say that they heard 5 shots and
the man was young and spoke persian language...
They also say that
they never saw any beating or fighting going on, which is suspicious. It's not the first time muslims have lured out the police just to attack them.
Judging by information available, the knifeman was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. And is still alive for all I know.
