In Rålambshovsparken in central Stockholm, two people have been arrested for setting off firecrackers and, according to Aftonbladet, a girl has been taken to hospital after being hit by a rocket.

"Parents should call their children if they are in the park and tell them it is time to come home," says Mats Eriksson, a police spokesperson, to SVT.

In Linköping, the police report a large number of intoxicated young people and are also appealing to parents there to pick up their children.

"The level of intoxication is far too high and the law-and-order situation is too uncertain," writes the Linköping police on Instagram.

During the evening, Skåne police received several calls about fights and drunkenness, especially at the cold bathhouse in Sibbarp, where a celebration for families had been held earlier in the evening.

"Then a lot of young people came to the scene. We're talking about thousands. There was a high level of intoxication and a lot of chaos," says Ulrika Johansson, police task force leader, to Sydsvenskan.
