Prosecutor confirms boy victims in Uppsala assault case, suspect still held

According to the chamber prosecutor Emma Haals, the only identified victims so far are male children. The investigation is in its early, intensive phase, so further details are limited. The suspect, already detained, has had his alleged crime reclassified to a normal-degree assault, though he is also accused of aggravated assault. Police made the first arrest shortly after 11 a.m. on Sunday in the Sala Backe district of Uppsala, but have not disclosed what occurred at the scene.
