In mid-March in Angered in Gothenburg, two boys were beaten by a larger youth gang. But thanks to the everyday hero Ceda, the abuse could be stopped – and now she is praised by the police. Every day, 75-year-old Ceda walks the same route with her dog. During one of his daily walks, Ceda caught sight of a group of young people. What she first thought was a prank turned out to be an assault. – I didn’t know what to do, she says. Even though she is 75 years old and 150 centimeters tall, Ceda decided to intervene. She threw snow at the perpetrators and said she would call the police. This prompted the gang to end the assault and leave the scene. Ceda then, with the help of a neighbor, called the police. The day after the incident, police chief Max Olsson called Ceda and praised her courageous intervention. A week ago he also met Ceda and thanked her personally. The perpetrators are still at large, but the investigation continues.
