Shooter is sentenced for false accusation by traveler
In July 2022, a man bought an SL ticket from a blocking guard at Fridhemsplan’s subway station in Stockholm. The man asked for a retirement ticket with a reduced price because he was over 65, but after he was admitted through the barriers, he noted that the barrier sold a regular ticket to him. He then went back to the locking course to address the error.
Then the two parties’ stories about what happened to the two parties.
Before the district court, the man has Said that the block was « stiff » and urged him to « speak out of the beard ».

Security guards were called and the man was disposed of. Based on the detainee’s information, he was suspected of threatening an official. He was then taken to a settlement room where he was placed on the floor for an hour until police arrived at the scene. Shortly thereafter, the man was released.
