Police have classified the incident as serious and made details public on their website.

Earlier on Sunday, around 2 AM in Linköping, a man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of raping a woman outdoors.

Using the victim's information, officers apprehended the suspect at a nearby bar.

These incidents underscore ongoing serious concerns about sexual violence in Sweden, involving both youth at a prestigious school and at popular nightlife venues. Authorities are moving swiftly with detention requests and arrests as investigations continue.
