Did a refugee evade arrest by three female police officers in Sweden, as shown in this video? @PeterSweden7 posted a video with the text: > SWEDISH POLICE FIASCO: 3 female cops beaten by 1 male refugee after trying to arrest for arson attacks. Police car SMASHED. The video is apparently a camera-phone recording of an incident where three officers attempt to subdue a violent man armed with rocks, and are unable to hold him down. I looked for the video on the net and found this forum entry that has the same video with a similar claim. This post was retweeted by Paul Joseph Watson, a nationalist activist, writer, vlogger and editor of infowars.com, the most popular conspiracy theory website. All of the sources seem to be dubious and right leaning. Does the video show a refugee and three Swedish female police officers?

The event took place in a housing complex for refugees on March 20th in Fagersjö, a suburb just outside Stockholm and received attention in main-stream media as well, e.g. in Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet, Expressen and SVT. The press release from the Stockholm Police is not published anymore, but can be found in Google's web cache.

The perpetrator was a resident of the housing complex (so, most likely a refugee) and was arrested and accused of arson, damage to property, violence against enforcement officer, attempted violence against enforcement officer and disturbance.
