thank you for posting this with the details, i'd seen this photograph a few times before, but never knew the specifics!

according to the wikipedia page, it sounds like the neo-nazis got a fairly icy reception in general 🤘

Another photograph taken by Runesson during the event shows the 10 Neo-Nazis being chased, pelted with eggs and violently confronted by a crowd made up of hundreds of attendants of the left-wing rally joined by local Växjö residents. One of the Neo-Nazis was kicked unconscious on the ground, then saved by one of the protestors who reportedly took pity on him. The far-right activists eventually managed to shelter in the toilets of the city's train station, hiding there for a few hours until the police transported them away.
