In a disturbing incident at Sävastgården, a youth care facility in Boden, Sweden, a young resident attacked and held two staff members hostage for two hours after being denied access to wifi.

The employees suffered facial injuries and bruises, with the harrowing situation ending only when they managed to alert authorities using a hidden cellphone.

This episode has sparked fear among staff, as reported to the Swedish Work Environment Authority, highlighting prior criticisms of the facility by both residents and parents.

Institution head, Robert Winneborn, assured that measures are being taken to prevent such incidents in the future.

The facility, known for housing young girls with psychosocial issues, substance abuse, and criminal backgrounds, has been under scrutiny for its handling of resident welfare.
