While waiting for their food, a row erupted with a gang of seven women in their early 20s, newspaper Expressen reported on Monday. According to the report, the women had placed the same order as the players.
"They wanted to take our food and started arguing with us, yelling a lot of shit and behaving aggressively," Ranégie told Expressen.
Police were called to the scene at 6.10am to defuse the situation. Ranégie and Svensson were ejected from the diner and were about to leave when the women spilled out on the street after them, the report said.
A police patrol witnessed a woman in her early 20s punching Ranégie in the face, resulting in blood gushing out of his eyebrow, according to the report.
"The police sat in their car across the street. I got a good hit and have a big scar on my face now. But what should I have done? I could not fight back against a girl," he told Expressen.
The woman who threw the punches is currently under suspicion of assault, while the others were reported by the footballers to the police for mobbing.

Maybe the Swedish police are scared of Swedish women after hearing what happened to Tiger Woods!!!
Now wait a minute with that line about Swedish girls only abusing Swedish men. No one believed that story Tiger told about how his face got cut and bruised. And with all his other women, you can't say that he "don't have the thing that dangling between their legs!"
Actually, when I talk to some Israeli ladies (My friends) and I mentioned "Swedish women", they get offended.
Nothing. She's already been told twice.
You mindless attention-seeking troll. I bet you don't have the guts to stand up in public and air your vile racist prejudices. Chicken sh*t!
Ive been to Sweden many, many times & yeah, when Swedes party, they get pretty crazy, but not like this, so these two guys are just sitting there eating, minding their own business and 7 women in their 20s burst in & just start beating them up? Sorry, this smells funny.....
Not sure what your point is here?
@JohnnyDee- Try the panhandle.
Trolling again I see.

"And while I'm at it, let me mention something that struck me about The Local's introduction to this issue: It remains to be seen how the film will go down with the movie-going public, and how, if at all, the film may affect public discourse about "Swedishness" and the country's relationship with Nazism at a time when Sweden continues to grabble with a new type of transformation - to a globalised, multi-cultural society" ... grapple: Middle English grappel grappling hook, from Old French *grappelle, diminutive of grape hook . First Known Use: 1601;grabble: Dutch grabbelen, from Middle Dutch, frequentative of grabben
First Known Use: circa 1580. The voiced b d g and the unvoiced letters p t k in Indo-European lead to this avoidable confusion.
Dispute over food oder. Police are called. 2 footballers ejected from restaurant. While police watch from car as footballers attacked by female thugs.
Sweden has such a great criminal justice system! (/scarcasm).
What really happened?
Were the police were in the car involved with the ejection of two from the resaurant? If so did the police to try to settle things down by dealing with two rather than a larger number of women? Were they afraid that the women would claim sexual harrasment by the police? Rather than getting to the bottom of what happened, did the police just go for what they thought was easiest? The police then possibly decided to just watch the attack for a while, so they could arrest someone after enough hard evidence (blood, wounds)were available to document what happened.
I thought that when you called the police they were suppose to protect people and maintain both law and order, not just take the course of least resistance.
The more I read about Sweden and its legal system the more I shake my head. SHAME.
