A group of bearded men was supposed to be photographed with a black and white flag. But someone called the police.
– They thought we were ISIS, said Andreas Fransson.
Someone saw a group of bearded men, all dressed in black, gathering and waving a black flag at Brahehus, an old castle outside the town of Gränna in the southern part of Sweden.
The person called the police, which came there only to find approximately 30 Swedish hipsters, according to Jönköpings-Posten.
– Someone thought we were ISIS and waved our flag. But the police saw that wasn't the case, said Andreas Fransson from Bearded Villains, to Aftonbladet.
”Bearded men doing good things”
The black flag with white text was the official Bearded Villains flag, on a visit to the organizations Swedish chapter.
– We're a group of bearded men doing fun and good things for people, said Andreas Fransson.
