The 25-year-old man was charged on Monday after he was arrested in Denmark in March. He has been detained since mid April.
During December's clash in southern Stockholm between neo-Nazis and Kärrtorp residents, the charged man was among those standing on the square when the Swedish Resistance Movement (SMR) showed up, reported the TT news agency.
He allegedly bludgeoned someone in the face.

"There will likely be more charges filed," she said.
In April, an extreme-left activist was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for stabbing a neo-Nazi in the back during the same altercation.
