"A woman in the room next to me screamed, 'don't kill me'," the good samaritan told the Aftonbladet newspaper. Police received a call about the stabbing at the youth hostel, located near Fridhemsplan on the central Stockholm island of Kungsholmen, around 2.20am on Monday morning. The victim was taken to hospital with more than 20 stab wounds. According to police, the woman may not have survived the attack had a fellow hostel guest who overheard the commotion not decided to intervene.
"The neighbour in the room next door heard the scream, forced open the door, and saved her life," police spokesperson Lars Marklund told the TT news agency. Despite receiving multiple stab wounds, the woman is in stable condition and is expected to survive. Police arrived on the scene shortly after the attack and were able to arrest the man who carried out the attack on suspicion of attempted murder.
