According to the prosecutors of the case, the Dutchman hit the photographer's camera, but it all happened very quickly, and there are doubts as to what exactly happened.

According to SVT, witnesses who have been questioned have stated that they did not watch the incident as threatening.

– Today I have closed the investigation because I cannot prove that the act was intended to cause serious fear or that the man had that intention, says senior prosecutor Frederik Jönsson in the press release.
