Shortly after 10 o’clock on Monday morning, went to Thomas Ardenfors (M), chairman of the nature and tekniknämnden in the municipality of Sollentuna, a round in Sollentuna centre. He says that it is something he likes to do to the health of people and find out what’s happening in the area. But this morning, took the walk a completely different turn.

” I heard that someone was shouting behind me. Sometimes you hear it when you walk around town. But now I saw that there was someone running towards me and gormar, ” says Thomas Ardenfors.

people often come up to him and want to discuss different things, which Stockholm Directly was the first to report on. And he is also accustomed to take care of people who are annoyed – but this time it was on a completely different level.

There was hate in his eyes. I have never faced the kind of hatred, ” he says.

Thomas Ardenfors bar at the time a portfolio in one hand and a holdall in the other, and says that he directly asked the man what he wanted. Then the man started making different gestures and raised voice.

– He starts the fight with his arms and spits and swears and makes obscene signs toward me, ” says Thomas Ardenfors.

He ask the man to calm down and ask him what has happened. Then get the man out, ”it’s not plogat on busstorget”. Thomas Ardenfors asks the man to tell you more about their problems.

Then the attack suddenly.

Then slamming it. I get a punch straight in the solar plexus and the body twists diagonally backwards, ” says Thomas Ardenfors.

” No. I had to flex my abdominal muscles before the battle. I train three times a week and is physically fit enough so I did it.

Thomas Ardenfors did not, however, get hold of the man who had just been awarded the battle. Not a security guard who will be alerted if the event manages to get a hold on the offender – until Tuesday. After the attack was Thomas Ardenfors protection of the stewards and when he is at 17-time went on in the centre he happened to suddenly once again at the man that had attacked him the day before. The man then began to re-wind up and vent their hatred toward the politician. Ordningsvakterna even recovered then the man and waited until the police came.

Now, Thomas has Ardenfors made two polisanmälningar against his attacker: one for assault, alternatively, violence against officials, and one for molestation.

On Wednesday, Thomas Ardenfors still hurt in the back after the incident, but has no other physical complaints. However, he has begun to think about what the attack means on a more general level.

” I feel a great discomfort over what could have happened. This is an attack on the public sphere and democracy.
