Riots for the third day in a row in connection with right-wing extremist demonstration

With just over an hour left until the appointed time, the far-right Tight Course Manifestation was moved from Landskrona to the rest area Skånegården in Malmö. The party leader Rasmus Paludan showed up at the rest area at 5 pm on Saturday.

Both in Landskrona, it became messy during the afternoon and evening, with, among other things, stone-throwing and several car fires.

Pictures from Skånegården show how riot police use pepper spray to disperse counter-protesters who tried to get over the barrier fence.

A person who drove into a fence was arrested and is now suspected of attempted murder. 

- Police, stone throwers and others who were nearby could have been injured, says Calle Persson, the police's press spokesperson in the South region, to SVT.

Photographer kicked in the chest

A photographer from Danish TV2 was attacked by an activist at Skånegården.

According to TV2, the photographer was knocked over when counter-protesters fled from rocks that bounced back after hitting the police cars.

The camera must have been smashed and the photographer must have been kicked in the chest by a counter-protester when he was lying on the ground, TV2 reports. 

According to the police, a woman must also have been examined by ambulance personnel after being hit by a rock. 

- Rasmus Paludan is also said to have received a stone on one leg, says Calle Persson at the police.

Police: It is unclear who is behind it

At 20 o'clock, the Tight course manifestation ended and shortly afterwards people started to leave the place.

The police take the incidents that occurred in connection with the demonstration seriously and, in addition to attempted murders, reports have also been made of, among other things, violent riots and vandalism through fire.

According to the police, the number of reports may increase. 

According to the police, it is difficult to know who it is that has been behind the riots in recent days in Swedish cities. 

- There are many reasons.

Some may be upset about the police's decision to grant permission, but it may also be young people who harbor resentment against the police for other reasons or criminals who use this as a reason to use force ", says Calle Persson to SR Ekot.
