The 2017 Stockholm attack was a terror attack, which took place on 7 April 2017 at 14:53 Central European Summer Time (UTC+2). A man driving a hijacked beer delivery truck crashed through crowds along the Drottninggatan pedestrian street and smashed through the front of an Åhléns department store in central Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden. The attack killed at least four people and wounded several others.
Aftermath
Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said the facts pointed to a terror attack and the police are treating the situation as such.[2] The Parliament House and the Stockholm subway system were locked down in response, and Stockholm Central Station was evacuated.[3] All trains to and from Stockholm's central station were cancelled, later to be resumed the same evening.[4]
Spendrups, the company that owned the delivery truck, reported the vehicle had been carjacked just moments before the attack while its driver was making deliveries to restaurant in Adolf Fredriks Kyrkogata. The original truck driver was not injured.[5]
Police investigation
Swedish police published pictures of a dark-skinned man with a hoodie wanted for questioning in connection to the attack. On Friday evening a man in Märsta, north of Stockholm, was arrested. The original suspect is thought to be the person that was arrested after he claimed responsibility for the attack. However, Swedish police refused to say whether the original suspect was the person who was arrested or not.[6][7][8]
