It was in April last year that the police stopped a 13-year-old boy who the police thought had pointed a finger at them.
The boy started running after the police stopped the car.
In connection with this, one of the policemen grabs the boy's ear so hard that it starts to bleed from the ear.
The police then drive the boy home to his family.
A short period later, the police made a report of concern to the social services as they were worried about the boy's situation.
JO: Unexplained care
But the Ombudsman partly believes that the care was unfounded and that there was nothing to indicate that the boy was in a vulnerable situation.
In the decision, the Ombudsman writes that "the circumstances of the intervention and the information provided gave the impression that the real reason for the boy being taken into care was that the police thought he had pointed the finger at them".
The Ombudsman also believes that there seems to be a need to raise the level of knowledge within the police when it comes to temporarily caring for people under 18 years of age.
While police itself admits that the intervention was incorrect.
The incident has been reported as a suspected misconduct, but the case was closed in May last year.
