Tess Asplund defied the terrifying mob despite standing at only 5ft 3ins and weighing a measly 8st.
The far-right march, organised by the Nordic Resistance Movement, didn’t scare the 42-year-old.
Speaking after the video of her defiance did the rounds online, she said: “I was thinking, 'Hell no, they can’t march here!'
“I had this adrenaline. No Nazi is going to march here, it’s not okay.

“The Nazis are very angry, so I am a little ‘Oh s***, maybe I shouldn’t have done that, I want peace and quiet.’ These guys are big and crazy.
"It’s a mixed feeling, but I am trying to stay calm.”
Tess later joined up with a larger counter-protest against the neo-Nazi group.
She added that racism has become “normalised” in Sweden but she hopes “something positive” will come from her actions.
