The unrest began at around 6.30pm on Wednesday evening when a police unit approached the youths and was met with stone-throwing. Four teenage boys were arrested.
The next incident occurred at around 10.30pm when police received a call that school buildings were on fire.
Four teenagers were subsequently arrested in the vicinity of Bussenhus school.
“The material damage to the Bussenhus school is extensive. This is a concern when the school is supposed to open again after the weekend. There is also a nursery school,” said Simon Jonasson, station officer at Stockholm Police.
