Police officers exposed to stone-throwing

When the police arrived at the scene, the atmosphere was anxious.

The first patrols to get there threw stones at them, which delayed the operation.

- We waited for more patrols, then they went in together.

In that situation, we prioritized the injured person, and to create a safe place in the area for ambulances, technicians and our dogs who will search for tracks, says Jonas Partheen.

Later in the evening, the mood calmed down.

There is no information that anyone was injured during the stone-throwing.
