STOCKHOLM — A young girl was found stabbed outdoors in southern Sweden on Monday and a 35-year-old woman with no apparent connection to her was arrested for attempted murder, police said.

The girl, whom police said was under the age of 15 while daily Aftonbladet reported she was 10, was found with stab wounds to her back in the town of Angelholm by a passer-by, who cared for her until an ambulance arrived.

“There is nothing that currently indicates that the victim and the woman suspect know each other,” police said.

Aftonbladet reported that police had earlier this week sought help from the public in locating a woman wanted in connection with a series of recent crimes in the area.

“It’s not impossible that it’s the same woman,” police spokeswoman Sara Andersson told Aftonbladet.
