A truck ploughed into a crowd on a shopping street and crashed into a department store in central Stockholm on Friday (April 7), killing three people and wounding eight in what the prime minister said appeared to be a terrorist attack. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Part of central Stockholm was cordoned off and the area was evacuated, including the main train station. All subway traffic was halted on police orders and government offices were closed.
Many police and emergency services personnel were at the scene, said a Reuters witness who saw policemen put what appeared to be two bodies in body bags.
Swedish police released a picture of a man wearing a grey hoodie and said they were looking for him. They did not rule out the possibility that other attackers were involved.
