Human feces has been smeared on seats at Rocksjö Stadium in Jönköping multiple times, including just last week, prompting the municipality to increase surveillance and report the incidents to police. The incidents have occurred up to seven times over one and a half years, according to Peter Hagström, a unit manager at the Culture and Leisure Administration. He noted that the incidents usually happen at night. According to Jönköpings-Posten, Peter Hagström described the perpetrator as having been there every night and doing the same thing. This pattern of repeated nighttime incidents has created ongoing disruptions at the stadium.
Jönköping Municipality is forced to introduce nightly patrols at Rocksjön, a spokesperson confirmed. The stands had to be cleaned again after the man's latest attack, multiple reports indicate. The public toilets in the area have also been smeared with feces. These security measures and cleanup efforts represent a significant municipal response to the persistent problem.
He has an unfortunate habit of throwing human feces everywhere.
According to Ilta-Sanomat, Peter Hagström described the man as having an unfortunate habit of throwing human feces everywhere. He added that the man is not well. The municipality has had to lock the public toilet sometimes when he has done this more frequently, but now he defecates outside, Hagström told the outlet. This behavior has been consistent over the extended period.
The description of the feces-thrower has been given to the local police, sources said. According to Ilta-Sanomat, Peter Hagström described that the authorities have already contacted him. The feces-throwing man has been a major topic of discussion in the municipality's security group, according to reports. Police involvement includes receiving the description and making initial contact with the individual.
He is not well. That's just how it is. But now we have had several such cases at Rocksjön's stands. There is also a public toilet in the area. He has also been there with feces. We have had to lock the toilet sometimes when he has done this more frequently, but now he defecates outside.
Throwing feces is expensive for the municipality, Peter Hagström said. The specific costs and measures for the increased surveillance and nightly patrols have not been disclosed. These financial impacts add to the challenges posed by the repeated incidents. The municipality's actions reflect the ongoing strain on resources.
The identity of the feces-throwing man and his exact motive remain unknown, as do any legal actions or charges filed by police. The current status of the police investigation and potential interventions has not been confirmed. These uncertainties highlight the unresolved nature of the situation despite municipal and police responses.
I believe the authorities have already contacted him.
He has been there every night and done the same thing.
