SD leader Richard Jomshof says he was spat in the face and has filed a police report

Richard Jomshof, a Member of Parliament for the Sweden Democrats, says he was spat in the face during a concert earlier in May, Sydöstran reports. The incident has been reported to police.

It was during a concert in Stockholm in mid-May that SD leader Richard Jomshof was allegedly attacked.

"Unfortunately, this is not the first time something like this has happened, although thankfully it has gotten a little better in recent years. I think that even an elected politician should be able to go to a concert and listen to music they like, without running the risk of being attacked or, in this case, molested by being spat in the face," Jomshof tells Sydöstran.

The incident has been reported to the police.
