The incident must have occurred during Stefan Holmes first day as a substitute teacher at a school in Karlstad. Towards the end of the day, there was a fight in the classroom.
The discussion was about being allowed to sit in an armchair. When Stefan Holm dissuaded the student from sitting there, another student chose to sit in the armchair anyway.
– And then I was so stupid that I grabbed him and dragged him to the front of the classroom, he tells NWT.
The student then tried to leave the classroom, which Stefan Holm stopped by pulling him back to his seat again.
– It just burned. I know I can’t do this and that I did wrong. I regret very much that I did it and know that I crossed a line, he tells NWT.
