Danish term or phrase: Antruffen person
This appears in a lengthy police report about a workplace accident. On the pages summarizing the interrogation of witnesses to the accident, there is a headline saying 'Antruffen person'. Does anyone have a suggestion for this in Danish?

The person found
Explanation:
Possibly the person injured in the accident.
Police jargon, compare eftersætte, to pursue

Or someone arriving, if that fits better, see meaning 2 here, but I would guess at an injured person.

Injured party


Explanation:
As in this context "Antruffen person" is not referring to a person who has been apprehended, to me it looks like that it is the "Injured party" (i.e. party whom the the report is about).
