A young man sustained stab wounds to his leg and possibly his hands during an incident near the Vinkelhuse apartment buildings in Tårnby, Amager. The victim is not in critical condition and has been transported to the hospital for medical attention.

Copenhagen police received a report of the stabbing around 7:52 PM. The assailant reportedly fled the scene. The incident occurred at street level, not on private property. Police and emergency services responded, finding the injured man.

Authorities are currently at the crime scene, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. The motive behind the stabbing remains unclear, and the investigation is broad. Police have stated that residents in the area should not be concerned for their safety, as the incident is not believed to be random.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at the scene or by calling 114. They also urge the public to respect the cordoned-off areas and exercise patience if traveling through the vicinity.

Klokken 19.52 fik vi en anmeldelse om, at en mand skulle være stukket i benet og muligvis hænder og ben. En gerningsmand skulle være gået fra stedet.
