(Local) Salwan Momika, the man behind a spate of recent Quran burnings that sparked diplomatic conflict and caused Sweden to raise its terror threat level, was assaulted on Monday, reports Aftonbladet.
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reports that Momika was attacked in the city of Södertälje, south of Stockholm, by a man wearing boxing gloves. The incident was filmed and shared on the TikTok app.
“Come on, let’s play, you and me,” it quotes the man as saying in Arabic.
Momika reportedly used a placard to defend himself before the man walked off.
