A 38-year-old man has died after being stabbed near a homeless shelter on Nibevej in Skalborg, close to Aalborg.
This is according to police inspector Claus Danø from North Jutland Police.
During the arrest of the alleged perpetrator, a 33-year-old man, police fired shots at the suspect and hit him in the leg.
He is now receiving treatment in hospital.
The victim’s relatives have been notified by the police.
The police state that there is a connection between the victim and the perpetrator.
They cannot provide further details on the motive or the exact circumstances.
"We have found a lot of technical traces, we need to check if there is any video footage, and we need to interview many witnesses," says police inspector Claus Danø.
And now they are waiting for the alleged perpetrator, who has undergone surgery, to wake up.
"We will have to see if he is willing to talk to the police," says the police inspector.
Because a citizen has been injured, the Independent Police Complaints Authority (DUP) has been called in.
Police will remain in the area for the rest of the evening and night, and there will be patrols to ensure safety.
"We urge anyone with information or who has seen something to call us at 114," says vice police inspector Lasse Kragh in the press release.
