In southern Stockholm, a lecture organized by local political parties at the Moment theater in Gubbängen district, attracted dozens of people. However, the event took a dangerous turn when masked individuals rushed the stage and set off smoke bombs. Witnesses reported seeing red smoke spreading in the area, causing confusion and chaos as attendees began to run. Some individuals were hit in the face and others experienced difficulty breathing due to the smoke. The incident led to an evacuation of the theater.
Several people were taken to hospitals with injuries that were not immediately clear. Reports suggested that individuals were sprayed with smoke in their faces and others experienced eye irritation. The police are investigating the incident as a case of causing danger to others and disturbing public order.
The local organization of Farsta Left Party issued a statement on Facebook blaming the attack on extremist groups and condemning their actions. Swedish Prime Minister also condemned the attack, stating that such acts have no place in a free and open society. Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible for the incident.
