A Swedish news crew was chased out of an area of Stockholm called Husby.
During an on camera interview with a Swedish economist, Norway’s NRK TV channel was forced to flee the area after being threatened with physical violence.
Cameraman Mohammed Alayoubi told NRK about his experience in what many call Sweden’s “little Mogadishu,” saying, “the young people were masked and extremely aggressive. They had no respect for the police and did not know who we were either. They threw a stone at us as we stood next to the police. It was a big one, probably [weighing] one kilogram.”
The incident occurred in the notorious suburb of Husby in Stockholm. Husby is well known in Sweden as one of the poorest areas of the country and has an 80% migrant population.
