Two individuals were admitted to the emergency department with facial injuries and are currently held by the police in the capital region of Iceland due to suspicions of serious assault that occurred last night. Both victims were transported to the hospital with injuries to their faces, prompting investigations into the separate incidents. According to Erna Dís Gunnarsdóttir, a chief inspector at the police in the capital, they are managing two distinct cases involving the assaults.

The assaults appear to have taken place separately, though both cases resulted in similar facial injuries and both victims required hospital care. The investigation is ongoing, and the suspects were apprehended around 2 AM, reportedly while under the influence of substances, which has led to their interrogation being postponed until later in the day. The police have indicated that they are collecting evidence and have a reasonably clear understanding of the events leading up to these assaults.

Despite the seriousness of the incidents, Erna Dís pointed out that the morning had been relatively calm for the police, hinting that these events were somewhat isolated. The police are committed to thoroughly investigating both cases, ensuring that they unravel the circumstances of the assaults, which have drawn attention in Iceland's capital, Reykjavík.
