AI-generated summary
A 17-year-old girl was taken into custody heavily drunk and taken to the Malmö prison, where she was injured during an intervention in an examination room.
The girl was taken into custody heavily drunk after a derailed party. Equipped with handcuffs and a spitting hood over her face, she came to the prison in Malmö, but there she continued to resist by bending her body.
In the visitation room of the Malmö detention center, the policeman made the decision to lay her down on the floor and claims that he communicated this with his colleague. But the colleague did not have time to get hold of the girl and therefore did not have time to slow the fall.
The 17-year-old landed with his head on the floor, fainted and broke a tooth. She was taken to hospital by ambulance.
Later, the policeman was charged with assault, but he is now acquitted in Malmö district court.
The court makes the assessment that there is not enough evidence that the police acted with the intention of harming the girl, nor that he was grossly negligent.
The girl's fall was filmed on a surveillance camera. This is how SVT Skåne reported on the case last spring:

John left Sweden after being accused of secretly filming 21 children in a sauna at a summer club where he worked as a leader. He sued the state and received 5,000 kroner in compensation for prison time and confiscated camera, but the Chancellor of Justice considered that he should not receive compensation as he evaded justice by fleeing abroad. He later sued Lexbase for removing convictions, but withdrew the suit after a nondisclosure agreement. John has changed his name and updated his teaching credentials, but the documents showing the charges are no longer in Lexbase.
No one has been killed in a criminal environment in the West police region since September 9 last year, and the number of shootings, explosions and arson attacks has decreased. The police link the development to a changed way of working with earlier efforts and better network knowledge, but warn that the demand for acts of violence remains and young people continue to be recruited.
