Swedish police arrest dozens at Neo-Nazi rally

STOCKHOLM - 1 October 2017: A rally of neo-Nazis in Sweden has ended in clashes with both anti-fascist counter-demonstrators and police, the BBC News reported.

The Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR) group had planned a march through the city of Gothenburg on Saturday.

Scuffles broke out between police and the shield-carrying NMR group when, police said, members attempted to deviate from the agreed route.

Dozens of people have been arrested, including the group's leader, Swedish media reported.
Counter-demonstrators are also believed to be among those detained.

Several hundred neo-Nazis gathered in Gothenburg for the rally, along with a large group of counter-protesters who lined the route.
