(Local) An election campaign stop at a public square in Falkenberg devolved into a food fight of sorts on Thursday when two protesters attempted to hit Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson with eggs and tomatoes.
In one of the incidents, Åkesson was giving a talk at a public square in Falkenberg when two protesters attempted to hit the Sweden Democrats leader with eggs and tomatoes.
The two food-throwers, both younger men, jumped out in front of Åkesson with a carton of eggs but were stopped from launching them by police. The young men had better success throwing their tomatoes but none of them hit their intended target.
A scuffle then broke out in which a police officer was kicked in the leg.
