According to SVT, which has spoken to Stockholm police's chief of staff Pontus Sandulf, the total bill will increase since the overtime cost has not been calculated yet.

In the police's match report, it appears that 126 pyrotechnic fireworks were fired during the match, 18 of which were so-called bangers. 80 people were taken into custody or removed by the police, 18 police reports were filed – for, among other things, vandalism, assault, drug offenses, and harassment. In addition, there were 200 incidents of unauthorized individuals on the pitch, masked persons, and thrown objects.

Neither security guards nor police have been able to work inside the stands to prevent or stop crimes, according to the match report.

SVT also reports that their reporter, after the interrupted derby, has managed to enter two Allsvenskan matches at Tele2 Arena with a Bengal firework dummy.

The derby match, which was interrupted by the police due to disturbances in the stands, was replayed without an audience the following day. Hammarby won, 2–0.
