Swedish Hockey Player Charged with a Bloody Assault

During a game back in January 18 year old Kid Andersson was sitting on the bench when he allegedly squirted water on an
opponent of the other team, that set the opposing player off and he'd baseball swing his stick into Andersson's face causing major damage with Anderson pouring out blood.

That was obviously overboard over a little bit of water. The aggressor, who has never been named publicly in the media, was suspended from playing until December 31st, 2022.

However Andersson is finally getting his justice as the other player has been charged with aggravated assault and will appear in court next March. The attacking player could face up to six years in jail if he's convicted.

"Kid Andersson suffered extensive tooth damage, jaw fractures and bleeding wounds. The crime should be assessed as serious because the suspect showed particular recklessness and brutality by hitting Kid Andersson's head with a stick and because Kid Andersson was caused severe bodily harm."

"I judge that there is sufficient evidence that it was an intentional act that caused serious damage. I expect a conviction."

- Prosecutor Helena Falkerby.
