The incident occurred at approximately 17:40, according to multiple reports. The resident quickly took out a phone, filmed the man, and alerted the police, according to reports. A large police operation was launched, including a dog patrol, police cars, and a helicopter, according to reports.
After two hours, the police were unable to find the man and called off the search, according to reports. Police spokesperson Ola Österling expressed confidence that the man would be caught because he was captured on film, according to reports. According to Uppsala Nya Tidning, Österling described the video evidence as key to identifying the suspect.
The man's identity and motive remain unknown, as does whether he was known to the resident. It is also unclear why the helicopter and dog patrol failed to locate him.
