Egon Malmgren
Egon Malmgren is a 72-year-old former news presenter for Sveriges Radio, known for his calm and deep voice. He made headlines after surviving a shocking incident in February 2020, where young individuals set his hair on fire while he was on a bus. Despite initial investigations, the case faced setbacks, including a lack of functioning surveillance cameras, leading to the initial closure of the case. However, it was later reopened when a video surfaced showing the attack. The suspect, a 24-year-old man linked to criminal activities, was ultimately not charged for the incident, leaving Malmgren feeling a profound sense of injustice and concern for public safety.
