Violence spreads on fifth night of Stockholm riots
More than 80% of Husby's 12,000 or so inhabitants are from an immigrant background, and most are from Turkey, the Middle East and Somalia.
Mr Reinfeldt said the situation in the district had been improving in recent years, with more jobs being created and a falling crime rate.
However, local people accused the police of racism. Rami al-Khamisi, a law student and founder of the youth organisation Megafonen, told the Swedish edition of online newspaper The Local that he had been insulted racially by police. Teenagers, he said, had been called "monkeys".
