After being chased down the highway, a extremist anti-Islam group from Norway was the subject this Saturday of a spectacular aggression while he was in the car, minutes after he burned a Quran in a suburb of Oslo.

Norwegian police confirmed that they had arrested two people, including the driver of a vehicle accused of having voluntarily collided with the 4×4 of Lars Thorenthe leader of the radical group “Stop the Islamization of Norway“(SIAN), until it capsized.

The five passengers of the 4×4 were slightly injured and one of them had to be taken to hospital, according to police.

In a video posted on facebook and recorded by his supporters, Lars Thoren and other activists are seen driving in Mortensrud, a suburb of Oslo where a large Muslim community lives.

The activists then place a Quran in the center of a crossroads and set it on fire, causing local residents to try to put out the flames.

The scene stirs up protests and several people gather in the area, such as a woman, who grabs the burnt book and begins to insult anti-Muslim militants, before climbing into a gray Mercedes and taking the passenger seat, the agency reports. AFP.

At that moment the camouflaged 4×4 of the activists leaves the scene, but a few seconds later is overtaken by the gray Mercedes, which collides with it, slightly, on the access road to the motorway.

But, after trying to stop the 4×4 by following it closely, the Mercedes accelerates and starts chasing the off-road vehicle at high speed, until it collides with it in the middle of the E6 motorway causing it to overturn.

The video was recorded live for several hours on Facebook and shows supporters of radical militants helping the five passengers, who barely managed to get out of the car, until the police arrived.

“We have reason to believe that the SIAN vehicle was intentionally hit,” Oslo police said in a statement.

The driver, prosecuted for “intentional collision and attempted aggravated violence”, was arrested, as was the passenger.

The incident occurred a week after a shooting in central Oslo, which investigators called an “act of Islamist terrorism”.

The practice of burning the Quran in neighborhoods with a strong Muslim population has spread among far-right anti-Islam militants in Scandinavia in recent years.
