Patrik Sjöberg together with Sara Nilsson runs the site Dumpen, which confronts and hangs out men who groom young girls and boys online.
In the current case, a man would meet what he thought was a 14-year-old boy on Mariatorget in Stockholm.
Instead, he met Patrik Sjöberg and Sara Nilsson – who filmed the confrontation – at the scene. According to the police report, the man then allegedly hit Sjöberg with a clenched hand.
– I'm still a little… wow, what happened? says Sjöberg to Expressen.
He states that he was hit on the cheekbone by the blow.
The incident was filmed with a mobile camera, but the video has not been posted on Dumpen.
Sara Nilsson tells Expressen that it is the first violent situation that has arisen during a Dumpen confrontation.
The man has been reported for minor assault and an investigation is ongoing, according to the Stockholm police.
