A primary school pupil in Landskrona suffered a concussion after another pupil put a stranglehold on him, causing him to faint and fall to the floor, according to the boy's mother for HD/Sydsvenskan.

I have been told that the stranglehold was "just for fun". Apparently, the pupils do this to each other, says the mother to the newspaper.

The incident has been reported to the police by the school. The headmaster confirms the mother's account of the incident in general terms, but at the same time emphasizes that exactly what happened is being investigated.

We take it very seriously and I understand the parents' fear and reaction, says the headmaster to TT.
