A pitch invader has been sentenced for attempted assault against Östers IF player Sebastian Hedlund. The incident occurred during a match between IFK Göteborg and Östers IF last season at Gamla Ullevi. The supporter, who was 17 at the time, reportedly ran onto the pitch and aimed a blow at Hedlund but missed.
The court found the individual guilty of attempted assault against Hedlund and violations of public order laws. According to reports, the defendant claimed to lack memory of the event due to intoxication, but the court dismissed this. The sentence includes youth care and 70 hours of community service.
