Swedish Police: Max Bearak and Immigrant Neighbourhood

swedish police: The neighbourhood, Rinkeby, has seen riots in 2010 and 2013, too, according to Toronto Star. And in most ways, what happened late Monday night was reminiscent of those earlier bouts of anger. Christine Olsson / ap By Max Bearak The Washington Post Tues., Feb. 21, 2017 Just two days after U.S. President Donald Trump provoked widespread consternation by seeming to imply, incorrectly, that immigrants had perpetrated a recent spate of violence in Sweden, riots broke out in a predominantly immigrant neighbourhood in the northern suburbs of Sweden's capital, Stockholm. Swedish police apparently made an arrest around 8 p.m. near the Rinkeby metro station.

For reasons not yet undisclosed by the police, word of the arrest prompted a crowd of youths to gather. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
