Several police patrols intervened – 15-20 people are detained and removed from the scene after checking. Three people have been arrested.

Greta Thunberg was removed for disturbing public order, and was caught on film when she was dragged away by the police.

Currently, the police are working based on the classifications of disturbing public order, disobedience to law enforcement, vandalism, unlicensed public assembly and violation of the masking ban.

According to the police, the unauthorized assembly may continue if the participants do not behave disorderly or violate the masking ban.

SVT's reporters on the spot state that the atmosphere was turbulent and that the police, among other things, used dogs against the demonstrators.
