A cop was beaten up in a nightclub by an ‘alien’.
The off-duty officer was attacked in a toilet at a Halloween party in Sollefteå, north of Stockholm, Sweden, on 3 November last year (2024).
Two revellers who witnessed the alleged assault told police the suspect, wearing an inflatable alien suit, cornered the officer and repeatedly punched him, as reported by Need To Know.

The victim recalls being pushed into a corner and struck in the face, but says the rest of the attack is a blur.
He suffered a concussion, bruising, and damaged teeth.
Police have now charged the suspect following an investigation.
Witnesses helped identify the man in the alien costume, and a photo confirmed his identity.
Officers then searched his home and found an identical costume at the top of his wardrobe.
The suspect, in his mid-20s, answered “no comment” to most questions but admitted he was at the nightclub that night and that the costume was his.
He denies any involvement in the assault, but police have formally charged him.
