During the Easter weekend, a large motor show is taking place at Elmia in Jönköping. In connection with it, chaos and brawls have broken out where people have gathered.

On Good Friday evening, the police took about 15 people into custody for drunk driving and disorderly conduct. They also handled several cases of assault.
