Several policemen were slightly injured, between 10 and 20 people have been arrested or suspected of having committed crimes and several cars have been completely set on fire after the violent riots in Malmö on Friday night and Saturday night, writes Expressen.
– The destruction and fear of the evening and night riots have affected all Malmö residents, says Stefan Sintéus in Malmö police, according to NTB.
It wasn’t until Saturday night that the police took control of the situation.

Brente Koran
The violent riots are said to have been caused by the burning of the Koran, which took place in the Malmö Rosengård district on Friday night.
The burning of the Koran is said to have taken place in connection with a gathering in the square organized by Swedish street artist Dan Park, who had previously been convicted of inciting ethnic groups in Sweden.
Danish right-wing extremist Rasmus Paludan, who several times set fire to bacon-wrapped Koran, was supposed to attend the meeting but was denied entry to Sweden.
Then there must have been a demonstration at Stortorget in Rosengård, in support of Paludan, which was broken up by the police. Six people were arrested and suspected of violating the Swedish racism clause, known in Sweden as “incitement against ethnic groups”, according to NTB.
Thrown stone
Police say both the burning of the Koran and the Stortorget event have upset many, but that it is still regrettable that people turn their minds to the authorities.
Because what emerged after these two incidents was anything but peaceful demonstrations.
Several hundred people gathered in Rosengård and threw stones at police and press photographers and set cars and tires on fire. For a long time, the police could not take control of the riots, where according to more than 300 people participated.
It is also said that some of the participants shouted “Allah is great,” according to Expressen.
No member of the public was injured during the riots, but some policemen were slightly injured after the night’s riots, confirms Thomas Söderberg, an officer on duty at the police, according to Expressen.

Investigate crimes
According to the SVT reporter in Malmö, an imam came to the area last night to try to calm things down. At time 03, the police regained control of the situation.
Police say they are now cooperating with the municipality, associations and religious communities and are working hard to restore security in Malmö.
– We are now investigating the crimes that have been committed and we are working to ensure that we still have a calm situation in Malmö, says Sintéus in the police.
On Friday night, Swedish imam Samir Muric distanced himself from the scenes that took place on the streets of Malmö.
– Throw in the towel, Muric wrote, among other things, adding:
– I have nothing to do with these people. I’m ashamed. The Swedish people don’t deserve it.
