Violent riots erupted in the central Swedish city of Orebro, while counterproposors attacked police in front of a planned demonstration of right-wing extremists.
Police reported that four police cars were burned and at least four police officers and one individual were injured after protesters threw stones until large groups attacked police cords.
The demonstration, which had received police permission, was organised by Rasmussen Paludan, leader of the far-right Danish political party “Hard Line”.

Police dismissed the demonstration to calm the situation, while later announced that most anti-demonsters had left the area.
We remember that violence first erupted in the outskirts of Stockholm after Paludan earlier set a copy of the Koran on fire.
Otherwise, police said some of the officers sent to the hospital had, among other things, wing fractures.
