A woman stormed towards the public gathering taking place outside the Iranian embassy.

With the help of a fire extinguisher, the woman tried to put out the choir that Salwan Momika set on fire, according to Aftonbladet’s Nivette Dawod on the spot.

The woman was quickly taken into police custody and the public gathering continued.

The police cannot comment on the incident at this time.

– I know it’s an ongoing public gathering, so we’ll see what happened later, says Towe Hägg, press spokesperson at the police.

At 1:15 p.m., the action ended.
