The Iranian Embassy in Sweden was attacked Friday afternoon by masked demonstrators and at least four persons were hurt, according to reports of the Swedish television SVT, Xinhua reported.

Around 150 Iranian protesters tried to come in to the embassy in Lidingo, a peaceful and beautiful area outside the Swedish capital city Stockholm. They threw stones to the embassy and rushed the gates, reported SVT.

Some protesters have seen that at least three of them and one person in the embassy were hurt in the chaotic process, SVT added.

"Now we have more than 50 polices here and everything is under controls," said a Swedish police officer. He pointed out that there were only four polices outside the embassy in the beginning of today's demonstration. The few police couldn't prevent the chaos immediately at that time.

The demonstrations have occurred peacefully in recent days outside the embassy.
