Yesterday, a 58-year-old mother with a young child was arrested and detained on suspicion of inciting a violent riot. She denies the crime, according to her attorney Anders Olsson.
Now another person has been arrested.
– We will continue to attract people gradually. There will be many detainees, says Mattias Sigfridsson, Acting Chief of the Malmö Police Area.
The unrest in Malmö started after a demonstration where participants burned the Koran, among other things.
Later in the evening, large crowds gathered, including in Rosengård, to protest the incident.
Some 15 people are suspected of committing crimes related to the riot in which tires and debris were burned, bus canopies were smashed and blue light personnel were exposed to threats and violence.
Video recordings from the night also show several people shouting anti-Semitic rhymes, something the police are now investigating as hate crimes.
– Many crimes were committed and there may also be more crimes as we go through the film material. Right now there are violent riots, incitement to ethnic groups and sabotage with blue light, but I know that, for example, fireworks have been set off and there may be other crimes recorded as well, says Mattias Sigfridsson.
The cinematographic material that is available in the police investigation is extensive.
– The police at the scene have filmed with their body cameras, then we have flown and filmed and there are also many mobile films of individuals. So that’s a great job to do.
– You must have respect for the fact that an investigation like this will take a long time. We will spend at least all fall trying to find and identify people, says Mattias Sigfridsson.
