the intersection, which is why he passes over Kungsgatan, crosses Kungsgatan and moves into the left lane to make a left turn at the Sveavägen-Tunnelgatan intersection. Ake stops the car at a red light at the intersection with Tunnelgatan. At the moment they have a tape recorder in the car with music playing quite loudly.

F= Interrogator
J= Johansson, Elisabeth

F: Elisabeth, can I ask you, what is happening, what is your first reaction when you are standing here at the traffic signals for a red light?

J: Åke he says something about there being a fight going on and then I look to the right...

F: So Åke says something first?

J: Yes I don't think I looked away, I might have just been sitting and looking around but he said is there a fight going on or something like that, then I looked and then you get the impression that there are some people standing and arguing, I don't know, it's difficult, it was as if two people were standing and holding each other as you stand like this and holding each other by the collar.

F: You got a feeling of that...

J: Yes, but I realized that more afterwards, that's how I see it now, like they're standing like this then but then they come, I look away from there and see someone running across the road, I don't know if it's the taxi driver but it's someone crossing anyway, if he came from the car or something I don't know but he's running across the road towards there...

F: Is he running on Sveavägen then?

3: Across the street there.

F: Where you're standing then?

J: Yes, in front of us, he comes running.

F: Is he running in front of your car then, towards this place?

J: Yes. Then...

F: But the first thing you see when you look away diagonally to the right must be then, is that there are two people standing there?
