A police officer is charged on suspicion of causing the death of another after a man died in connection with an intervention in Solna last June, Dagens Nyheter reports.

The police are suspected of having grabbed the man’s throat and neck and pressed his chest to the ground. The consequence was that the man suffered from a lack of oxygen, according to the indictment, writes Aftonbladet with reference to the Siren news agency.
