Several hundred counter-protesters showed up when the anti-Islamic organization SIAN organized a “violent party” in Oslo outside the Storting on Saturday.
A small group of counter-protesters repeatedly tried to tear down the fences that had been put up to separate them from the SIAN speakers.
The atmosphere heated up even more when SIAN member Fanny Bråten tore to pieces and spat pages of the Koran in front of counter-protesters outside the Storting.
– Look now, now I will desecrate the Qur’an, he said before starting to tear out pages and spit on them, reports NTB.
Several counter-protesters broke through the barriers and tried to target Sian’s profile. One of them managed to reach Bråten and was kicked in the leg, before the police charged.
The wreck was on the ground for a while and before ambulance personnel helped her up.
Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, taking hundreds of protesters away by truck.
Follow the broadcast of the demo live on VGTV:
Police shot down several counter-protesters after breaking through the barricades. Bråten has previously been charged and acquitted of hate speech.
After the Koran stunt, the three police cars were attacked by the crowd that hit the windows and threw chairs at the cars. People also climbed on the roof of the police car.
Several counter-protesters also attacked the fences and the police used tear gas to seize control.
Iron bars, stones, cans and other objects were thrown at the police.
Task leader Torgeir Brenden tells VG that the police were forced to finish marking SIAN earlier than planned.
He says that no one has been injured and that four people have been arrested so far.
