During the match against Färjestad in October, the man sent a message to Pudas on Instagram: "You should die tonight, you bastard".

The hockey star then chose to report it to the police.

This type of message comes thick and fast, unfortunately. Now I feel that I've had enough, and I really think this should be highlighted, says Pudas to Norran.

No player wants it to be like this, and I hope people will realize that this behavior is not okay. When it goes this far, you've crossed not one, two, or three boundaries. It's enough now, and that's why I'm doing this.

The Värmland Färjestad supporter denies any wrongdoing. He has said in questioning that he doesn't remember writing the message.

Jonathan Pudas is not claiming any compensation or damages. He says the police report was mainly made to mark that the death threat was over the line.
