Earlier Koran burning in the city
During Sunday afternoon, Salwan Momika carried out a Koran burning at Värnhemstorget in Malmö.
The police then described the atmosphere as violent and several hundred people gathered at the scene. Just before 2 p.m., a violent riot occurred.
Three people were arrested as a result of the incident - and around ten were detained.
An electric scooter was also thrown at a police bus.
The police cannot confirm that the events in Rosengård later in the evening have anything to do with the riots at Värnhemstorget.
- It is close at hand to see a connection, but it is not yet something we can determine, says Evelina Olsson at the police.
Camera surveillance of Rosengård
At 19:00 on Sunday evening, the police announced that they are monitoring Rosengård with cameras as a result of today's Koran burning.
- It is a working method to be able to prevent and prevent criminal activity, said Evelina Olsson, press spokesperson at the police, earlier in the day.
