US documentary maker Ami Horowitz travelled to Stockholm to explore how the Swedish capital had changed as a result of the European migrant crisis. A sound recording captured the dramatic moment when he was allegedly the victim of an “unprovoked attack” after entering the Husby area – a part of the city the police have branded as “no-go”. Mr Horowitz claimed he was punched, kicked and choked by five migrants who took objection to him filming in the area. Discussing the vicious assault on Fox News, the filmmaker said the number of “sex attacks” in Sweden has “almost doubled” and attributed it to a “surge in Islamic immigration” into the country.

The problem with the Swedes themselves is that they refuse to acknowledge the problem Ami Horowitz

He added: “The problem with the Swedes themselves is that they refuse to acknowledge it. “The police describe them as no-go zones. The problem is in the inteligencia out there – if you watch the BBC, NPR or CNN – they’ll have an actual debate whether or not these no-go zones even exist. “I can tell you I went there – I know they exist.” Shortly after the attack, Mr Horowitz released a sound recording of the event. He can be heard asking why it was a “problem” to film in the location, before an unidentified male replies: “I don’t want to be filmed.”

The men then start speaking in Arabic before the filmmaker is reportedly grabbed and dragged to a nearby building – despite demonstrating he is not actually filming. “There were five guys, they jumped on top of me, they were punching me, they were choking me and they were stomping on me,” he added. “I looked around and we were in a busy square – this no-go area called Husby. I thought, ok, someone is going to pull them off at one point in the next few seconds, and I noticed that nobody has pulled them off of me. “This is an Islamic enclave and you can not come here as a foreigner with a camera crew.
